AutoPayPlus strengthened its financial leadership with someone who brings experience national and international experience in both the public and private sectors.

The provider of automated biweekly and early loan payoff services announced on Tuesday that Donald Retreage Jr. has joined its leadership team as chief financial officer.

From serving the U.S. Department of Defense and United Nations to Fortune 100 companies and startups, AutoPayPlus highlighted Retreage’s 30-year career as a business and financial strategist has been wide ranging.

With a focus on financial governance, change management and employee engagement, AutoPayPlus said Retreage leverages his corporate finance and operations background to drive transformation and guide an organization’s leadership to stay focused on their vision, goals and priorities.

According to a news release, Retreage will play a crucial role in strategic planning and decision-making to define the future direction of AutoPayPlus. His responsibilities include reporting historical financial information to the company’s stakeholders in a transparent manner, identifying and managing financial risks and uncertainties that could impact the company’s performance, and providing guidance about the capital structure of the company.

“Far more than a traditional CFO, Don brings unparalleled expertise to the AutoPayPlus team. From operationalizing strategy to coaching cross-functional teams to exceed expectations, his passion for problem-solving with a transparent leadership style produces exceptional results,” AutoPayPlus CEO Robert Steenbergh said about Retreage, who also is a member of the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA).

“As we continue to evolve and expand into new fintech endeavors, his counsel will be instrumental in helping to shape the strategic direction of the company,” Steenbergh went on to say.
