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.
