A financial services executive who spent more than two decades at Bank of America Corp. has been appointed chief executive officer of Gateway Mortgage Group LLC.
Stephen Curry started as vice president, regional controller, with RepublicBank Texas in May 1986. The Dallas-based institution was subsequently taken over by North Carolina National Bank.
He stayed on in 1991 as NCNB became NationsBank, and was still there seven years later when it acquired BankAmerica Corp. and took on the name Bank of America.
Curry left BofA in 2008 and founded Everett Advisory Partners LLC in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Over the past year he has been serving as an advisor to Gateway.
On Wednesday, Jenks, Oklahoma-based Gateway announced that Curry has been appointed CEO.
Curry takes over from Kevin Stitt, who will stay on as chairman.
He’ll lead a company that expects to originate more than $6 billion in home loans this year and anticipates its mortgage servicing portfolio exceeding 110,000 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of more than $20 billion.
