From the desk of Jason Kulas

We are excited to begin the second half of 2015 by sharing with you a few thoughts from Jason Kulas, Santander Consumer USA’s new CEO.

Today begins a new chapter for SCUSA and Chrysler Capital, and we start this journey from a position of strength. We have exceptional leaders, industry-leading best practices and the support of Santander. Companies evolve and SCUSA has long had a succession plan in place to ensure stability amidst change. The transition to our new roles has been seamless, and from an operational perspective it’s business as usual.

Second, I want you to know that your voice matters. In the coming months I will be attending events, including the Dealer Experience, and I look forward to discussing ideas for how we can continue to make Chrysler Capital better for our dealers and our customers.

We sincerely thank Tom Dundon for his many years of service as he begins a new chapter while continuing to serve as an adviser to Santander Consumer USA. Tom’s decision to remain on the SCUSA board and serve as a senior adviser is a testament to his ongoing confidence in the company he built over 20 years.
