PHH Corporation Announces CFO Transition
Mt. Laurel, NJ, March 1, 2011 (Business Wire) PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) today announced
that Chief Financial Officer Sandra E. Bell is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities.
The company also announced that it has appointed David Coles, of the global professional services
firm Alvarez & Marsal, to serve as interim CFO while it conducts a search for Bells successor.
Coles joined Alvarez & Marsal in 1996 and currently serves as a Managing Director based in New
York. He was previously at Arthur Andersen & Co., both in the United Kingdom and in New York. He
has worked in a variety of CFO and COO management and senior advisory roles in several industries
including financial services and consumer products. Since 2008, Coles has served as a director of
Euro-Pro Holdings, Inc. He holds a B.Sc. (Hons) in economics and accounting from the University of
Wales Institute of Science & Technology. He has also passed the examinations of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants in England & Wales.
Jerry Selitto, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, Sandra Bell has played a critical role
in PHHs recent success. Under her leadership, we have significantly strengthened our liquidity
position and improved core operating results. I want to thank her for her contributions, and all of
us at PHH wish her the very best.
We have retained Heidrick & Struggles to pursue a comprehensive search to identify a new CFO to
help us continue to grow the efficiency and profitability of our mortgage and fleet operations. We
are fortunate to be able to call upon the knowledge and experience of David Coles in this
transition period. He brings to PHH a solid record of financial leadership, business
transformation, and financial reporting and analytical skills, with relevant experience in the
financial services sector.
Commenting on the appointment of Coles, PHH Chairman Jim Egan said, Jerry and his leadership team
have made significant progress in executing the companys transformation initiative. Leveraging
Davids experience and expertise at this time will provide our management with valuable perspective
on ways to strengthen our financial performance and execution capabilities.
Im enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with Jerry, his management team and the Board in
improving performance and building on the success of PHHs transformation initiative, said Coles.
The companys unique positioning and array of service offerings give me great confidence that I
can significantly assist in achieving its business objectives.
