Having started as a Senior Product Manager in 2004, Sherman’s long tenure at Experian working with lenders, regulators (FHFA and CFPB) and GSEs provided her with ample experience in all areas of the mortgage lending process, including prospecting, portfolio, servicing, and data reporting, among others.

“We needed someone that was going to expand the usability of our solutions, think outside the box, and focus on what our clients need today, next year, and 10 years from now,” said Sean Buckner, President and CEO of Informative Research. “Renae is ahead of the pack and we’re so incredibly fortunate to have her here at IR. The amount of market knowledge that she possesses is going to be crucial for our company moving forward.”

Sherman will drive the development and execution strategy of IR’s technology solutions. Utilizing her extensive market knowledge, Sherman will play a vital role in building on IR’s 70-year record of renowned technological growth and innovation.

“Informative Research is leading the mortgage industry into a new world, a world that simplifies the loan process and gets rid of common setbacks that a lot of lenders experience on a daily basis,” said Sherman. “With IR, I’m determined to help evolve our technology so our clients can close more loans securely and effectively.”
