EarnUp, a San Francisco-based fintech company offering payment and data solutions for the mortgage industry, has announced the expansion of its executive team to help accelerate the company's growth and support its mission to create a financial system that transforms the loan payment system into a key driver for achieving financial wellness.
The four new executive appointees are Michelle Scanlon as chief people officer; Aileen Casanave as general counsel; Brad Woodcox as vice president of strategy and operations; and Johnathan Flowers as head of marketing.
“Michelle, Aileen, Brad, and Johnathan bring with them decades of experience and their expertise will bolster our executive team as we drive the company’s next round of growth together,” said Nadim Homsany, EarnUp co-founder and CEO. “EarnUp has already helped over 100,000 borrowers to simplify the mortgage payment experience.
