"This has been an exciting year for Planet Home Lending as we more than doubled total origination volume and nearly doubled the servicing portfolio," said Ben Hughes, executive vice president and chief human resources officer of Planet Home Lending. "Jodi and Terry have successful track records for attracting and engaging top talent."
