Scott Henley Named Chief Production Officer for Gateway Mortgage Group

Gateway Mortgage Group, a division of Gateway First Bank, has promoted Tina Knaut to regional vice president of the Southwest

Gateway Mortgage Group has announced the appointment of Scott Henley as the new chief production officer. In this role, he will be responsible for overseeing all strategic initiatives that drive mortgage volume across the organization. Gateway Mortgage currently has 65-plus retail offices, is licensed in 32 states and services more than $6 billion in residential mortgage loans.

Henley brings 20-plus years of mortgage industry experience to the position and most recently was the SVP of national production for Gateway’s Correspondent Lending Division. Henley was selected to lead Gateway’s entrance in to the correspondent business in 2012 and the division has purchased nearly $3 billion worth of residential mortgage loans since inception.

“We have enjoyed some significant accomplishments in the Correspondent channel over the last three plus years,” Henley said. “Gateway has a long-standing tradition of success and this was a perfect opportunity to participate in the overall growth of the company while impacting production across all channels.”

Henley’s move is complemented by the promotion of Jared Edmonds as the new VP of national production–Correspondent Division. Edmonds draws on a wealth of mortgage industry expertise and professional success that spans business development, high-value account relationship, and was an instrumental piece of the team that helped launch Gateway’s Correspondent Division.

“Our leadership team represents some of the best talent in the industry,” said Alan Ferree, president of Gateway Mortgage Group. “Scott and Jared have impressive skillsets and are both perfectly equipped to lead our production efforts while elevating the experience for our team members, referral partners and clients."
