Ally Financial Reshuffles Executive Leadership in Auto Finance and IR

In his new capacity, Leary reports directly to Doug Timmerman, President of Dealer Financial Services. A veteran of the company since 2008, Leary transitions after a tenure marked by oversight of corporate financial planning, procurement, and analyst engagement. CFO Russ Hutchinson cited Leary’s financial discipline and commitment to internal talent development as primary drivers for the appointment.

Dan Ignacio, currently Executive Director of Investor Relations and Corporate FP&A, assumes the leadership of the investor relations team. With 11 years at the firm, Ignacio has navigated roles across the CFO group, specifically within auto finance and corporate financial planning. He will report to Hutchinson, taking over a department the CFO described as well-positioned to maintain consistent communication with the investment community. Leary is expected to finalize his transition into the auto finance division over the coming weeks.
