1. Board Expansion with Tech Veteran Tracey Weber
At its annual meeting, Ally Financial shareholders approved all director nominees and expanded the board to 12 members by electing Tracey Weber. Weber brings more than two decades of digital and technological leadership, having served as senior vice president at Expedia Group and held senior roles at CVS Health, IBM and Citibank where she launched mobile check deposit.
2. Rising Yields Boost Digital Bank Appeal
