"His deep experience in the industry, knowledge of what we do at iServe, and unique vision of the future of the market makes Richard a great addition. He brings credibility to our program and some of the best connections in the business. He is exactly the type of senior person we want at the helm, guiding iServe and growing it through this difficult but potentially rewarding time." "aving Richard come on board as the face of iServe means a great deal to a growing firm like ours," said Louis Amaya, NAD's chief investment and operations officer. "Richard's in-depth knowledge of servicing, coupled with his ability to communicate its importance to the industry and to homeowners is critical to his new role. As the head of iServe Servicing, Inc., Richard will draw on his extensive background and relationships to further grow our business in new markets, effectively manage the risk, and positively communicate all that we are doing to the key players: our clients, the ratings agencies, regulators in Washington, and our investors. There is no one better for this role." "I am very impressed by the impact that iServe has had since they've begun," said Cimino. "The firm is only two years old, and already they have made a name for themselves as a risk-taking, flexible, exciting young firm. They have already experienced significant growth, which shows great potential for iServe to develop into a large, established industry leader. I look forward to tapping into my experience and relationships both nationally and internationally to help iServe navigate this current market and capitalize on new opportunities."
