Invest
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE:
ALLY) announced today several new leadership appointments to
further position the company for the future.
"In joining the company earlier this year, I partnered closely
with the leadership team to take a fresh look at our leadership
structure, and we have made some shifts to deliver increased value
for our customers, employees and shareholders," said Michael Rhodes, Ally's chief executive
officer.
Effective immediately, Stephanie
Richard has been appointed chief risk officer, responsible
for execution of Ally's independent risk management. Throughout
Richard's nearly 27-year tenure at Ally, she has served in numerous
roles of increasing levels of responsibility within the finance,
treasury and risk management functions, including chief audit
executive and deputy chief risk officer. She has a long and
respected reputation with key regulators and designed the company's
risk appetite framework and stress testing process. Ally's prior
chief risk officer, Jason Schugel,
will transition to an interim senior advisor role before leaving
the company.
Meghan (Meg) Ryan has also been
promoted to chief audit executive, succeeding Richard. Ryan most
recently served as chief financial officer for Ally's Consumer and
Commercial Banking businesses, and throughout her 13-year tenure
with the company, she's held a variety of finance and
treasury-related roles. Ryan has been recognized for her leadership
and impact as one of American Banker's Most Powerful Women in
Banking NEXT honorees in 2020 and was honored on the Charlotte
Business Journal's 40 under 40 last year.
Additionally, Lindsay Sacknoff
will join the company as head of Deposits and Invest, including
Customer Care and Experience, effective January 13. She will report to the CEO and will
be based in Charlotte. Sacknoff
brings more than two decades of banking experience and most
recently led USAA's payments and omnichannel sales and services
organization. Prior to USAA, Sacknoff served in a wide variety of
roles at TD Bank, including Head of US Consumer Deposits, Products
and Payments. Sacknoff was also named one of American Banker's Most
Powerful Women in Banking NEXT honorees in 2020.
"I'm looking forward to working with Lindsay to evolve our
distinctive advantages and further hone our focus on where we can
compete and win in the marketplace," said Rhodes.
In addition, Ali Summerville,
Ally's business administration executive, has elected to leave the
company. As part of the new structure, Kathie Patterson, Ally's chief human resources
officer, will assume responsibility for the Ally Charitable
Foundation.
Additionally, Sean Leary has been
named chief financial planning and investor relations officer,
taking on additional responsibility for all business line chief
financial officer duties, continuing to report to Ally's CFO
Russ Hutchinson. Leary previously
served as the head of investor relations and corporate financial
planning and analysis.
Added Rhodes, "Stephanie, Meg and Sean are highly energized
leaders and culture carriers who will bring focus, rigor and
excellence to their new roles, further supporting our core focus on
managing risk and adapting to what's ahead. I would also like to

company over the past 15 years and wish him all the best."
