His exit could come earlier than that, the bank said on Wednesday. Brown will join Hendrick Automotive Group, one of the nation’s largest privately held dealership companies, as president on Feb. 1.
Brown said he looks forward to building on the relationship between Ally and Hendrick — a longtime customer of the bank.
