Gonzales previously held the title of senior vice president for IT infrastructure and engineering. He is a seasoned information technology leader with significant experience in large mortgage servicing operations. He joined Cenlar in 2018 and quickly assumed responsibility for IT infrastructure and operations.

He has a proven track record with directing transformational efforts, managing programs and projects, improving operational efficiency and integrating, and implementing and developing new solutions, Cenlar said.

Before joining Cenlar, Gonzales held IT leadership positions at PHH Mortgage, Altisource, Ocwen Financial Corp., Ally Financial, GMAC, and JPMorgan. He also served in the Army and Army Reserves for 28 years, including tours supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Noble Eagle, retiring at the rank of major.

In his role as CTO, Gonzales is responsible for providing strategic technology leadership to Cenlar’s business units, the company said. He also leads solution architecture and innovation initiatives, partnering with leaders to leverage technology to generate value and help achieve Cenlar’s business objectives and strategy, it said.

“I have worked closely with Rene on a variety of projects, and I have grown to respect his dedication, commitment to excellence, and his ability to quickly adapt to fast technological change,” said Steven Taylor, Cenlar’s chief information officer. “I also respect his strong sense of value and his people-centered leadership style. His demonstrated skills are what earned him the CTO role.”

During his tenure at Cenlar, Gonzales has provided technical direction and leadership for the new telephony platform implementation, the company’s cloud strategy and migration, and the rapid and successful shift to remote operations during the pandemic, Cenlar said.

“I look forward to being the CTO,” Gonzales said, “and continuing our efforts to deploy innovative technology that demonstrates value to the company and our clients and their homeowners.”

Cenlar FSB services loans in all 50 states and U.S. territories.
