Her understanding of market development, recruiting, strategic planning, industry partnerships, and communications will steer the new wholesale lender to its ambitious goals for top ranking in the non-QM space founded by CEO Evan M. Stone and chairwoman of the board, Patty Arvielo of New American Funding.
