He later held broader finance leadership responsibilities, including serving as lead finance executive for Ally’s global functions. Schugel’s career at Ally shows a steady progression from finance to governance and risk oversight. He became deputy chief risk officer in 2017 and was named chief risk officer in the spring of 2018. In that role, he had overall responsibility for Ally’s independent risk management function, including the enterprise risk management framework, risk processes, and the company’s balance between risk and return. His remit was closely tied to protecting the firm’s financial results while helping ensure that risk-taking remained disciplined and consistent with the organization’s strategy. Before joining Ally, Schugel was vice president of financial planning and analysis and investor relations at LendingTree, LLC. Earlier in his career, he worked in investment banking at Wachovia and started out at First Plus Financial, where he specialized in mergers and acquisitions. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Southern Methodist University and an MBA from the Babcock Graduate School of Management at Wake Forest University. Notable achievements during his tenure include helping strengthen risk governance at a major publicly traded financial institution operating in auto finance, digital banking, and related financial services. He also contributed to internal audit, loan review oversight, and enterprise-wide financial planning, giving him a well-rounded profile across control functions and strategic finance. More broadly, his career reflects deep expertise in risk, audit, capital discipline, and financial leadership—capabilities that are especially valuable in regulated markets such as the U.S. banking and financial services sector.
