TrueCar named a chief people officer on Thursday, appointing Jill Angel to the role.

Angel, who had previously been executive vice president of people at Leaf Group, will report to TrueCar president and chief executive officer Mike Darrow.

Angel joined Leaf Group in 2015. Her experience in “people operations” began after two decades in operations, finance and customer service at various ecommerce platforms.

“We’re delighted to welcome Jill to the TrueCar team as we build an organization ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of supporting a modern-day marketplace serving both dealers and consumers,” Darrow said in a news release.

“Jill will serve as a strategic partner to me and the rest of the executive team, advising on key organizational issues as well as assuring appropriate resources and programs are in place as we scale our TrueCar+ marketplace,” he said.

In the news release Angel added, “I look forward to bringing my experience to TrueCar and working to bring operational solutions to the team. I’m passionate about many aspects of HR, including compensation strategy, building relationships with key stakeholders and identifying talent, and I can't wait to use my skills to develop and retain teams at TrueCar.”
