Sound Transit names Butler CFO

Sound Transit has appointed Tracy Butler chief financial officer.

She joined the agency as treasurer in 2007 and most recently served as interim CFO. In 2016, Butler negotiated Sound Transit's $2 billion master credit agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation, agency officials said in a news release.

She also managed Sound Transit's debt program, including $3 billion in Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loans and $2.5 billion in outstanding fixed- and variable-rate bonds.

Before her time at Sound Transit, Butler served in strategic and financial roles at Salem Health Hospital and Clinic, a regional health care system in Oregon.
