WFG Promotes Justin Tucker to Chief Marketing Officer

Williston Financial Group (WFG) has promoted Justin Tucker to the position of chief marketing officer to spearhead its aggressive growth strategy. In late 2015, WFG also launched west, a wholly-owned subsidiary the sole focus of which is streamlining and enhancing the entirety of the mortgage and real estate transaction through technology-enabled services and processes. WFG has been supported throughout its existence by Golden Gate Capital, a major fund based in San Francisco.

As CMO, Tucker will lead WFG’s growth strategy through its marketing communications, development and sales platforms. He has been a driver of WFG’s sales and marketing initiatives since 2010, becoming the company’s vice president of Sales, Marketing and Technology in 2013. From 2005-2010, Tucker held development and production positions with one of the industry’s largest title underwriters. He earned his MBA with concentrations in marketing and real estate from Marylhurst University, as well as a bachelor of science degree in psychology from Oregon State University.

“Justin is an exceptional leader and one of the most creative thinkers in the industry,” said Steve Ozonian, president and COO for WFG. “He has repeatedly proven that he is fearless when it comes to unconventional thinking and his sales and marketing strategies are unlike any our industry has seen. His way of thinking never strays from how an initiative or action will benefit our customers—a highly unique approach for most real estate-related firms. Justin is the obvious choice to lead the charge for a ground-breaking entity like WFG and we have no doubt that he will set a new standard when it comes to growing a real estate business by meeting client needs.”
