CDK Global, a retail automotive technology company, announced Eric Guerin as its new executive VP and chief financial officer (CFO).
Guerin will begin the roles Jan. 18, enabling Joe Tautges to complete his transition to the chief operating officer (COO) position in early 2021.
In his role, Guerin will drive the company’s financial strategy, growth opportunities and performance, CDK Global stated.
“We are looking forward to Eric bringing his more than 20 years of finance experience from well regarded, publicly-traded companies to help us strengthen our balance sheet and accelerate growth in our business,” President and CEO Brian Krzanich stated. “As we welcome Eric, I want to thank Joe for his tremendous contributions as CFO and look forward to him continuing to play a critical role as COO as we build on our momentum and transform the way the industry connects.”
Guerin most recently served as division VP and sector CFO at Corning Glass Technologies. He has held various leadership roles, including VP and CFO in aftermarket services at Flowserve Corp., VP of global R&D finance at Novartis and finance director of Ethicon’s new business development at Johnson & Johnson.
“I’m excited to join CDK Global at a time of significant opportunity when the company is investing in its growth,” Guerin stated. “I look forward to helping CDK execute on its strategy to provide innovative solutions to automotive retailers and OEMs that allow them to connect better, manage, analyze and grow their business, as well as enhance value for shareholders.”
