(Reuters) – Harley-Davidson on Tuesday named insider Jonathan Root as its new chief financial officer to succeed Gina Goetter who stepped down in April.

Root, who will take charge immediately, most recently served as senior vice president of Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS) after joining it in 2011.

He has previously held a variety of roles including at Ally Financial and GMAC Financial Services, the company said.

David Viney, vice president, treasurer, was named interim CFO after Goetter left to join toymaker Hasbro.

After cutting hundreds of jobs in 2020, the motorcycle maker has either beaten or met Wall Street earnings estimates in recent years.
