Recent executive movement in the home-lending industry includes a director appointment at a government-sponsored enterprise and two people who have been hired as chief marketing officers.
Fannie Mae said last week that Ryan A. Zanin was elected to its board of directors. He’s been appointed to the risk policy and capital committee and the strategic initiatives and technology committee.
Zanin’s
three decades’ experience includes his current job as chief risk officer at GE Capital. He was also managing director, risk management, at Wells Fargo & Co. and worked at Wachovia Corp.
“His world-class risk management skills are highly valuable, as effectively managing and reducing risk is a key component of our important role in the market,” Fannie Mae President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy J. Mayopoulos said of Zanin in a written statement.
A.W. Pickel III sold his interest in Leader One Financial Corp. to current employees of the Overland Park, Kansas-based company and resigned his position as president and CEO.
Taking over as LeaderOne president and CEO is Mike Stoddart, who already had a stake in the company.
Pickel was since
hired by AmCap Mortgage as president of its newly formed midwestern division. Fourteen-year old AmCap reports $2 billion in annual originations and 800 employees. He starts his new gig on Oct. 15.
“AmCap’s made me a phenomenal offer,” Pickel explained in a telephone interview. “To be honest, I’m making more here than I was at Leader.”
A Sept. 19 statement from Flagstar Bank said Don Klein has been hired as
senior vice president of business development. The hiring was made to expand subservicing.
In addition to 20 years at PMI Mortgage Insurance Co., Klein’s 25 years in the mortgage industry most recently included five years at Ocwen Financial Corp.
In San Diego, Guild Mortgage Co. announced
Tuesday that Wendy Wong has been named its first senior vice president and CMO.
Wong, who joined Guild in March, lists Citibank, Dun & Bradstreet and Fair Issac Corp. among her previous employers on her LinkedIn profile.
Tim Wagner was hired by Envoy Mortgage as senior vice president CMO. He reportedly has more than 20 years’ experience, including time at Nationstar Mortgage LLC and Pacific Union Financial LLC.
The new vice president of sales at Open Mortgage is Kevin McKnight, according to a Sept. 14 announcement.
His more than quarter century in the industry included jobs at Stonegate Mortgage Corp. and Residential Capital LLC.
