David Shevsky was named chief risk officer for Ally Financial in December 2015. In this role, Shevsky has overall responsibility for the risk framework, processes and oversight for the company, including achieving an appropriate balance between risk and return, mitigating unnecessary risk and protecting the company’s financial returns.

Prior to his current role, Shevsky served as the chief risk officer for the Ally Bank subsidiary beginning in 2011.

Shevsky joined Ally Financial in 1986 with a series of positions supporting the auto finance operation from a credit analysis and risk perspective. During his career, he supported both the domestic and international auto finance operations. In 2004, he became a senior vice president of enterprise risk for the company. In this role, Shevsky began to take a company-wide view of commercial credit risk and capital management. When the company became a stand-alone company in 2006, he played a key role in establishing a more robust risk management function, and when Ally became a bank holding company in 2008, he was responsible for establishing a loan review function, which he did until becoming the chief risk officer for Ally Bank in 2011.

Prior to joining Ally, Shevsky served in the United States Air Force from 1979 until 1984.
