Paul Gillespie has been involved with banking and auto finance for more than 40 years. He was an executive at AmeriCredit when General Motors purchased the company 15 years ago to form GM Financial.

Gillespie’s installment contract is about to reach maturity, so to speak, as he’s preparing for retirement this spring. He recently appeared again on the Auto Remarketing Podcast to discuss his professional journey, what influenced his retirement decision and wisdom for younger executives.
