Ally Financial taps Goldman Sachs executive Hutchinson as CFO

(Reuters) – Ally Financial Inc has hired Russell Hutchinson from Goldman Sachs as its chief financial officer effective July 3, the company said on Friday.

He will report to Ally’s CEO Jeffrey Brown and will be based in Charlotte, N.C.

“He was instrumental in helping us to evolve into the publicly traded and strong company we are today,” Brown said in a statement.

Hutchinson began his career as an associate consultant at the Boston Consulting Group in its Toronto office.
