AOS provides a broad range of mortgage origination solutions that help to lower costs, gain efficiency and manage risk for lenders. Since 2014, Altisource has reviewed loans totaling more than $17 billion.
"We are committed to providing industry-leading capabilities, cutting-edge technology and exceptional client service to our mortgage industry customers," said Jason Garmise, a co-leader of the AOS business unit. "Jon joins an already strong management team at AOS and comes to us with deep expertise in nearly all parts of the mortgage origination process. AOS has seen strong revenue growth over the past 12 months and Jon will help lead our business as we continue that strong growth and expand our reach into the broader mortgage industry."
