JM Family Enterprises tapped Eric Gebhard to be the company’s interim chief financial officer last May.

On Wednesday, an executive Gebhard helped to recruit became the company’s permanent CFO.

Taking on this role as well as holding the title of senior vice president is Ravi Abbineni, who now will be leading the company’s financial operations.

Now with Abbineni in place, the company said in a news release that Gebhard will return to focusing full time as JM Family’s treasurer and group vice president of financial operations.

An accomplished CFO with 20 years of experience, JM Family highlighted that Abbineni has worked in a number of industries, including consumer finance, insurance, real estate, treasury, commercial banking and asset management. He most recently served as managing director, CFO and head of strategy for Citizens Commercial Banking.

Prior to that position, Abbineni held CFO roles for JPMorgan Chase in its middle market and specialized industries banking and global real estate divisions, as well as with GE Capital’s commercial real estate division. He also served as the GE CFO for Hyundai Capital & Hyundai Card Joint Ventures in Seoul, South Korea.

Abbineni has focused on financial management, strategic planning, auditing, and mergers and acquisitions. The company said his professional experience will be an asset as JM Family executes its growth strategy and expands its leadership position both organically and through acquisitions, leveraging its strong culture and success in the franchise business model.

“Ravi’s impressive breadth of experience and knowledge of various aspects of the financial industry made him an ideal candidate as JM Family looks to grow its position beyond automotive,” JM Family president and chief executive officer Brent Burns said. “We are excited to leverage his expertise and fresh perspective going forward and are certain that he and his family will find a welcoming home here at JM Family.”
