ARDRI has appointed mortgage industry veteran Wesley Olison as vice president of wholesale production to support the company’s growth and strengthen broker relationships in the Non‑QM lending market

ARDRI, a technology‑forward mortgage lender specializing in Non‑QM and business purpose financing, has appointed Wesley Olison as its new vice president of wholesale production. With more than two decades of experience in mortgage sales, underwriting, and team leadership, Olison brings a depth of industry expertise that aligns with ARDRI’s vision for market expansion.

Throughout his career, he has demonstrated a rare combination of strategic insight, operational discipline, and a focus on producing results. His track record includes leading national and regional sales strategies, cultivating robust broker relationships, and driving production performance in dynamic market conditions. 

“ARDRI’s commitment to innovation, service, and modern technology sets it apart in the Non-QM space,” Olison said. “I’m excited to join a team that values strong partnerships and delivers real value to brokers. My goal is to empower our team, strengthen our market presence, and drive steady growth.”

Olison’s appointment reflects ARDRI’s ongoing emphasis on building a high‑performing wholesale division capable of meeting the evolving needs of third‑party originator (TPO) mortgage brokers nationwide. His foundation in underwriting, credit analysis, and risk assessment enhances his ability to lead teams with a comprehensive understanding of the entire lending lifecycle — from structuring complex deals to identifying emerging market opportunities.

In his new role, Olison will be responsible for broadening ARDRI’s market reach, strengthening broker partnerships, and driving production growth through effective leadership and client‑focused strategies. He has articulated a clear commitment to empowering teams, fostering collaboration, and delivering measurable value to both internal stakeholders and external partners.

ARDRI’s executive leadership has expressed confidence that Olison’s addition will accelerate the company’s momentum as it scales its operations. The organization is leveraging innovative platforms and data‑driven processes to streamline the mortgage experience, positioning itself as a forward‑looking alternative to traditional lenders. In this context, Olison’s leadership is expected to play a central role in expanding ARDRI’s impact and supporting brokers in navigating a complex lending environment.
