David H. Stevens, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), has announced the promotion of Rick Hill, a staff member in the Research and Industry Technology Group, to the position of Vice President of Industry Technology, effective Jan. 1, 2015.
“Rick came to MBA with a breadth of technical knowledge few in the realm of real estate finance possess,” said Stevens. “He is responsible for working with our members toward industry solutions to improve the systems and processes our industry relies upon to efficiently originate and service loans in both the residential and commercial/multifamily spaces. His work in these areas is extremely valuable, not just to MBA and our members, but to the entire mortgage industry. I congratulate him on his well deserved promotion.”
Hill joined the MBA in 2010 and is responsible for providing leadership to MBA and its membership relating to operational and technology topics faced by the industry, including through the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO), which he oversees. He is also responsible for developing the content for MBA’s Technology Conference and leading all of MBA’s technology forums and working groups—both residential and commercial/multifamily—as well as managing technology related content for MBA Education.
Prior to joining MBA, Hill was the director of data strategy at Fannie Mae, where he was responsible for data standards and best practices, data management including the company’s data warehouse, and managing the relationship with regulatory agencies relating to information requirements. Before his time at Fannie Mae, Hill was a senior auditor with Deloitte & Touche. Before being promoted, Hill was MBA’s associate vice president of industry technology. He holds a BBA in accounting from the College of William and Mary and is also a Certified Public Accountant.
