In this role, Mr Ramsey will have responsibility for global risk management and treasury activities including funding and balance sheet management. He will report to GMAC’s COO Al de Molina.
David Walker, GMAC group vice president of global borrowings, has been named GMAC treasurer. In this role, he has responsibility for global funding activities and reports to Mr Ramsey.
Prior to joining GMAC, Ramsey has spent over 25-years at Bank of America Corporation, most recently serving as CFO of global corporate and investment banking. He holds a bachelor of arts in economics from the College of William and Mary.
