WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

When another month starts next week, IAA will have a new executive vice president and chief financial officer.

IAA announced on Tuesday that Susan Healy will join the company on Sept. 1 to serve in those roles. According to a news release, Healy will succeed Vance Johnston, who is leaving IAA to pursue other opportunities.

The company highlighted Healy is a finance and Wall Street veteran with more than 25 years of experience driving growth and operational improvement at a number of highly respected, multinational companies.

During the past four-and-a-half years, Healy served as the senior vice president of finance for $20 billion market capitalization beauty retailer Ulta Beauty, where she led corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, financial planning and analysis, treasury and procurement.

Prior to Ulta Beauty, Healy was a strategic advisor to early-stage, venture-backed companies in the consumer, technology, health care and renewable energy sectors. She also held the role of CFO at apparel retailer Lands’ End, where she led the finance, accounting, legal, procurement and IT teams.

After earning her J.D. from Harvard Law School, Healy began her career at global investment firm Goldman Sachs, where she executed over $25 billion of mergers and acquisitions transactions and $6 billion in financings, including six IPOs.

“We are very pleased to welcome Susan to our senior leadership team,” IAA chief executive officer and president John Kett said in the news release. “Susan is a proven leader with significant finance, strategy and Wall Street experience that, along with her strong measurement and data philosophy, make her an excellent addition to our leadership team.

“We are excited about the critical role she will play in driving sustainable growth and profitability at IAA, and I look forward to working closely with her as the company enters its next phase of digital transformation, expansion and innovation,” Kett continued.

Kett also mentioned the work by Johnston, who served as CFO during a critical junction in company history.

“We also want to thank Vance for his significant contributions, particularly his work helping to transition IAA to an independent public company following its spinoff in 2019,” Kett said. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
