With more than two decades of marketing experience in the financial industry, Yee has a proven track record of high growth at industry-leading lending, technology, and mortgage insurance companies. He previously held executive marketing positions at Ellie Mae, CoreLogic, Wells Fargo, Radian, Chase and Bank of America.
