Dart Appraisal has announced the hiring of Teressa Hupfer as vice president of Operations and Marc Tatarcuk as vice president of Sales.
Hupfer will focus on aligning Dart's operational strategy with client needs, and will collaborate with company leaders on the strategic development of systems and processes. She previously worked as a first vice president for both FirstMerit Bank and Citizens Bank. In those roles, she led commercial and consumer loan operations, including managing regulatory compliance, merger teams, SLA strategy design and oversight, policy development, procedure design and implementation, Six Sigma, and KPI creation and oversight.
“Teressa has a proven track record of operational excellence,” said Michael Dresden, president of Dart Appraisal. “She is a positive leader that focuses on continuous improvement and performance optimization. Her extensive experience in employee development, procedural compliance and operations management will ensure that as we continue to expand our team, our customers will continue to receive the reliable and consistent customer service that has become the hallmark of Dart Appraisal.”
As VP of Sales, Tatarcuk brings more than 15 years of experience as both a sales professional and sales team director to Dart. He previously served as head of Residential Lending for First National Bank of America in East Lansing, Mich., and also has experience owning his own mortgage company.
“Marc has both industry and non-industry background, and has both sold and led successful sales teams throughout his career in B2B and B2C roles,” Dresden said. “His lending background will provide excellent knowledge and perspective for our sales team. As a results-oriented, supportive leader, he focuses on building solid pipelines and working with his teams to successfully achieve sales targets and exceed new business objectives.”
