Sprout Names New EVP And CIO
Sprout Mortgage hired Henry Santos as the company's executive vice president and chief information officer. In his new role, Santos will be responsible for the strategy, execution, and performance of the Sprout enterprise technology ecosystem. He will lead the firm's efforts to transform the Sprout Mortgage brand into a digital, highly automated experience that leverages data and advanced computer engineering solutions.
Santos is focused on bringing modern technology and subject matter expertise into closer cooperation, particularly to reduce the rising cost of origination and distribution, according to a press release.
