NAPA, Calif. — Vehicle service contracts administrator AUL Corp. has appointed David Chang to the position of CFO, announced Jimmy Atkinson, the firm’s president and CEO. Chang, who brings more than 20 years of experience in corporate finance, has been recruited to prepare the firm for its next phase of growth. The appointment represents the second addition to AUL’s executive team in 2018, following new CIO Jose Fleites’ March appointment.
“As we continue to grow, it is vital that we take advantage of opportunities to enhance the strength and expertise of our leadership team, and David brings a depth of knowledge and experience to elevate our financial processes, systems, forecasting, and reporting to an institutional level,” stated Atkinson.
Chang most recently served as vice president of FP&A for Assurant, a global provider of risk-management solutions, where he drove financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and analysis for a $3 billion gross premium business segment. Prior to Assurant, Chang spent nearly 20 years with General Electric, culminating in the position of CFO for a $300 million P&L with six facilities spanning three continents, all according to the announcement.
“In addition to his immense professional qualifications, David’s genuine concern and compassion for his fellow workers demonstrate what a great fit he is for AUL. We welcome him with great excitement and enthusiasm,” Atkinson said.
