Embrace Home Loans has announced today that industry veteran and former CEO of Lenders One, Jeff McGuiness, has joined the national lender as its chief sales officer, where he will assume responsibility for all three of Embrace’s production channels, including retail, consumer direct and bank fulfillment, comprising of more than 275 loan officers and 50 locations nationwide. 

“Embrace Home Loans has a well-earned reputation in the industry for its commitment to customer and employee experience,” said McGuiness. “I'm excited to join the very talented team at Embrace as we focus on aggressively growing each of the different business lines.”

Most recently, McGuiness led Lenders One as their CEO and has an impressive history with Aurora Bank, American Home Mortgage and Citimortgage. As chief sales officer for Embrace, he will lead a team of growing senior sales talent, which includes hires over the last several years of former Bank of America executive Mike Watkinson and former principal of Mason Dixon Funding Cary Reines.   

“We are thrilled to have Jeff join our organization and look forward to his leadership,” said Kurt Noyce, president of Embrace Home Loans. “Given our three distinct sales divisions, we could not have found a more perfect leader. As excited as we are with his unparalleled experience and well-known success in leading retail, consumer direct and third-party, it is Jeff’s character and integrity that we admire most. We are encouraged that his leadership will play a pivotal role in driving our organization to greater success.”
