ATLANTA, Nov. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax
Inc. (NYSE: EFX) has named Beverly
Anderson president of Global Consumer Services (GCS),
replacing Dann Adams who has
announced his retirement.
Anderson, an established financial services leader, is joining
Equifax from Wells Fargo where she served as Executive Vice
President, Cards and Retail Services. For the past seven and a half
years, she has been responsible for leading growth and
transformation of various lines of lending businesses and
operations. Most recently, she led the expansion of the consumer
general-purpose credit card, co-brand, private label, and
enterprise loyalty businesses. Under her leadership, portfolio
balances grew by almost 70 percent and consumer purchase volume
doubled, while maintaining strong profitability and above-industry
average returns. In her new role at Equifax, effective December 2, 2019, Anderson will be responsible
for delivering vision, growth and transformation of the GCS
business that will expand upon the current direct-to-consumer
solutions and services across the U.S., U.K., and Canada.
"We are energized about Beverly joining the Equifax leadership
team to lead our Global Consumer Services business," said Equifax
Chief Executive Officer Mark W.
Begor. "She brings broad experience and deep domain
expertise in consumer finance and marketing and has demonstrated
consistent leadership in growing businesses in financial services
with a focus on consumer needs and in leading high-performance
teams."
Anderson joins Equifax with more than 30 years of experience in
financial services. Prior to Wells Fargo, she held leadership and
executive roles in business insights, product and strategy at
American Express, Fleet Bank (Bank of America) and First
USA/Bank One (J.P. Morgan Chase).
She was also the first female partner at Novantas Consulting.
Anderson received a Bachelor of Science in Business from
Florida A&M University and holds a
Master of Business Administration from Harvard
Business School. She is the co-president of the Harvard
Business School African American Alumni Association and the
chair-emerita of the Board of Directors for the Council of Urban
Professionals.
"GCS is the critical consumer-facing piece of our business that
provides our direct connection to people, and is the driver for our
strategic goal to be the most consumer-friendly credit reporting
agency," added Begor. "Bev is a strong growth and consumer-focused
leader who is passionate about consumers and purpose. I am
confident we will benefit from her broad consumer background,
growth focus, and ability to build great teams."
"I am extremely excited to join Equifax," said Anderson. "I have
a unique opportunity to combine my passion for enabling the
financial success of millions of consumers through access to credit
and stronger financial confidence with Mark's vision for scaling
the Equifax Global Consumer Services business and becoming the most
consumer friendly credit reporting agency."
Dann Adams will work closely with
Anderson as she transitions into her role as the Equifax president
of Global Consumer Services.
"During the past 20 years, Dann impacted every corner of
Equifax. He served as president for three of our four business
units and built and executed strategies that resulted in some of
our most differentiated data assets. We thank Dann for his
leadership and wish him well in his retirement," said Begor.
