On March 13, 2014, Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally”) announced that it has named Jeffrey Brown (JB), currently senior executive vice president of Finance and Corporate Planning, to the role of president and chief executive officer of the Dealer Financial Services business. In this role, Brown will have oversight for the company’s leading automotive finance, insurance and auto servicing operations. He will continue to report to Ally Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Carpenter.
Following a career of more than 30 years with Ally and its former parent, William (Bill) Muir, Ally president and current head of the Dealer Financial Services business, has elected to retire by year-end. Muir and Brown are committed to an orderly transition of responsibilities over the coming months.
Brown’s current financial responsibilities will be transferred to Ally Chief Financial Officer Chris Halmy. With this move, Halmy will have responsibility for all of Ally’s finance, treasury and capital markets activities.
Brown was appointed senior executive vice president of Finance and Corporate Planning in June 2011 and has played a leading role in strengthening Ally’s capital and liquidity profile, executing on the company’s strategic transformation efforts and repaying the U.S. taxpayer’s investment. Brown joined Ally in March 2009 as corporate treasurer and, prior to this, he was the corporate treasurer for Bank of America.
