Mary Ann McGarry, Guild Mortgage CEO, has been recognized with a "2015 Women Who Mean Business Award," presented by The San Diego Business Journal, for her leadership in building the company into one of the fastest-growing independent mortgage banking companies in the United States. The award program recognizes dynamic female business leaders and role models who have contributed significantly to San Diego’s businesses. An independent judging panel, comprised of five members, selected 30 winners and three recipients of Awards of Distinction from more than 200 finalists. McGarry was among the 30 winners. 

“This award acknowledges the strength of our management team and of everyone at Guild who works hard to provide the best customer service in the business,” said McGarry. “This starts with helping people get into homes by giving them choices from a complete array of loan options, which differentiates independent mortgage banking companies from many other lenders and has helped us succeed in new markets.”

Guild Mortgage has grown from a single office in San Diego to become one of the leading independent mortgage banking companies in the U.S. The company currently employs more than 500 in San Diego and 2,000 nationwide.
