Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. today named Ismail Dawood as chief financial officer, effective Dec. 16.
Dawood previously served as CFO of the investment services division of the Bank of New York Mellon Corp. He replaces Jennifer Davis, who has been serving as interim CFO since July. Davis will stay with SC, as deputy CFO.
Davis was filling in for Jason Kulas, who was president and CFO when Chairman and Chief Executive Thomas Dundon abruptly stepped down in July. Kulas was subsequently named CEO. Dundon stayed on as a board member, but he sold his stake in the Dallas-based company.
Prior to BNY Mellon, Dawood held senior roles at Wachovia Corp., including managing director of structured treasury activities and managing director of corporate development. Wells Fargo & Co. acquired Wachovia in 2008.
