Chronos Solutions has added industry veterans Matt Harrick as senior vice president of Middle Markets and Darcy Patch as vice president of Marketing, as well as title industry veterans John Macias as Western regional director of Title and Settlement Services, and Edward Gonzalez as team captain.

Harrick will lead a team of sales executives focused on delivering Chronos Solutions’ credit, tax, title, flood and other lending services to clients in the middle market segment. He will also be tasked with introducing a series of new tools and solutions obtained through the recently completed acquisition of technology provider Cogent Road within the loan origination market. These new offerings include Funding Suite, a premier credit and data purchasing platform designed for mortgage lenders; Taxdoor, a fully automated tax transcript solution that allows users to order verified income data via Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts without requiring signed 4506Ts; and Roohmz, a next generation loan origination system.

Harrick joins the firm with almost 20 years of sales and business development experience in the mortgage and settlement services industry. He was previously managing director of Mortgage Sales with Black Knight Data & Analytics, where he oversaw the national sales team and implemented the primary business strategy. Before that, he was director of sales for First American DataTree. Harrick also served as national sales manager for Newport Lending Group.

“We are pleased to have Matt Harrick join our team,” said Matt Slonaker, executive vice president of Product and Business Development for Chronos Solutions. “We expect significant growth with our lending-related services and our over 600 clients in this sector are constantly seeking the efficiencies and simplicity our products deliver.”   

Patch joins Chronos to oversee the company’s branding and marketing activities nationwide. She has more than 20 years of marketing experience, most recently serving as VP, Marketing, Strategy and Industry Relations for RealtyTrac’s Data and Industry Solutions groups. Patch was SVP of Marketing, Mortgage Information Services and Real Estate for Black Knight Financial Services’ predecessor companies, where she held marketing leadership roles within Fidelity National Financial’s family of businesses for 13 years, including ServiceLink, LPS, FIS and Fidelity National Information Solutions.  She has also held key marketing positions with CIGNA Flood Services and BioSecur Lab.

“Darcy brings significant industry experience in our product and service lines to this key role for Chronos,” said Slonaker.

As Western Regional Director Title and Settlement Services, Macias will be responsible for the design, optimization and daily operation of title production and fulfillment operations for a multi-state title agency. He has served the title industry since 1989, most recently as Director, National Sales for First American Mortgage Solutions. Before joining First American, Macias served as Strategic Business Solutions Executive with ServiceLink. From 2008 to 2011, he was SVP, National Sales for New Vista Community Assets Solutions.  He has also held key roles with Ticor Title and New Century Title Company.

Gonzalez will be a team captain in the company’s title and settlement services group. There, he will be charged with growing the company’s customer base as well as maintaining relationships with existing title and settlement services clients. Before joining Chronos Solutions, Gonzalez was a sales representative with ServiceLink and Black Knight Financial Services. Over the course of his 30 career in the title industry, he has held sales and development roles with Fidelity National Title Company, Old Republic Title Insurance Company, Alliance Title Company, United Title Company and Commonwealth Title Company.
