CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE: ALLY) today announced that Sean Leary has been named Head of Consumer Servicing Operations for the Auto Finance business. In this critical, enterprise-focused role, Leary will report to Doug Timmerman, President of Dealer Financial Services.

Leary most recently served as Ally's Chief Financial Planning and Investor Relations Officer, where he led corporate financial planning and analysis, line-of-business finance activities, procurement and investor relations, where he was responsible for Ally's engagement with the investor and analyst community. Since joining Ally in 2008, he has developed broad expertise across finance, balance sheet management, capital management, and procurement. Leary brings a strong track record of enterprise leadership, financial discipline, and broad business acumen developed over his tenure at Ally.

"I've worked closely with Sean throughout my time in the CFO organization and have great respect for how he leads – with discipline, partnership, and genuine care for the people around him," said Russ Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer. "Beyond his financial expertise, Sean has been a strong contributor to Ally's culture and to developing the next generation of talent in our organization. I look forward to seeing him bring that same leadership to this new role in dealer financial services. He leaves Investor Relations in excellent hands with Dan, who leads a strong, experienced team well-positioned to continue delivering for our investors and the analyst community."
