Lewis will work with current and prospective clients, primarily community banks and credit unions that are participating in or considering the LenderLive correspondent program.

Most recently, he was president/consultant of Realex Consulting, where he managed the research, development, training, implementation, measurement and monitoring of all company compliance, quality control, underwriting and credit policies and procedures, and the monitoring and reporting of all third-party providers for banking and lender clients. Prior to Realex, Lewis was senior vice president of Gateway Funding DMS, LP, where he formed a third-party provider monitoring system in conjunction with Commergence and an underwriting process to maintain and monitor all individual, company and distribution channel functions. He also held executive positions at Countrywide Home Loans, Credit Suisse First Boston and H&R Block Mortgage Corp. Lewis began his career as a loan production officer at The Bank of NY.
