Countrywide Financial Corp. has a new chief financial officer.

The Calabasas, Calif.-based lender announced Monday it named Eric P. Sieracki as the new CFO and executive managing director, effective April 1.

Thomas McLaughlin, who served as Countrywide's CFO since 2001, has elected to step down from the role to focus on personal interests and has agreed to remain with the company in advisory capacity, according to the announcement.
