Mortgage Tech Vet Mark Michel Joins OpenClose

Oct 01, 2018
OpenClose, a multichannel loan origination system (LOS) and digital mortgage fintech provider headquartered in West Palm Beach, Fla., has hired Chris Olsen for newly created position of vice president of sales engineering

OpenClose has hired Mark Michel, an industry veteran in enterprise-level mortgage technology systems. Mark has an extensive track record of successful execution during his tenure at lending entities as well as mortgage technology providers. Michel will serve as a Software Integration Analyst where he will focus on the company’s LenderAssist LOS, RESTful API suite, as well as other digital mortgage solutions.
 
Michel brings to OpenClose more than 15 years of experience as a subject matter expert in mortgage fintech. Before OpenClose, he was a Senior Product Manager at Altisource, responsible for a next-generation LOS, as well as a new POS portal, while also acting as a subject matter expert on all LOS integrations. Prior to that, Mark was a senior business consultant and project manager at Fiserv Lending Solutions for more than 15 years. 
 
In addition, he has held Senior Business Analyst and Project Manager roles at banks, mega lenders and an investment firm focusing on outsourced technology solutions for mortgage originators, secondary market conduits and investors. This unique combination of lender and vendor experience arms him with highly sought after mortgage experience and is an extraordinary addition to the OpenClose Integration team.
 
“We are pleased to welcome Mark to the OpenClose family and know that he will have an immediate impact,” said Jason Regalbuto, Chief Executive Office and Chief Technology Officer of OpenClose. “Mark has a very rich, through-and-through background in the mortgage industry, working for both lenders and mortgage software firms. He’s exactly the type of professional we like to hire to advance our enterprise."
