RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, today announced, as part of a long-term planning process, its CFO transition. Enrique Mayor-Mora, who has served as CarMax’s treasurer since 2016, will be promoted to senior vice president and CFO. Tom Reedy, who has served as CFO since 2010 and as executive vice president since 2012, will become executive vice president of finance. Mayor-Mora will continue to report to Reedy.
“We are excited to announce the promotion of Enrique Mayor-Mora to senior vice president and CFO,” said Bill Nash, president and CEO. “Enrique is a talented leader who has demonstrated a strong ability to build and lead teams while collaborating and communicating effectively with all stakeholders. We look forward to Enrique’s leadership as our new CFO as we continue to grow our business.”
Mayor-Mora, 51, has extensive experience in strategic and financial planning, treasury, expansion planning and analysis, risk management and investor relations.

“Succession planning and talent development for all positions play a key role in our long-term success,” continued Nash. “Tom has developed a strong core finance team and a deep bench of talent since becoming CFO almost 10 years ago, which has allowed him to take on responsibilities beyond finance. This transition enables Tom to focus on our highest priority strategic initiatives and explore new growth opportunities, while at the same time maximizing the talents of our other financial leaders.”
The Company noted that Mayor-Mora will assume responsibilities for Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Expansion Planning and Analysis, Financial Planning and Internal Audit functions.
