Foundation Mortgage Strengthens Operations With Three New Hires

Foundation Mortgage has added three seasoned professionals, Phil Brousseau, Toniey Williams, and Patrick Turner, to key roles within its growing operations division. The company’s new appointments underscore the company’s continued investment in operational excellence and service quality as it scales to meet rising demand in the Non-QM and traditional mortgage markets.

Brousseau joins Foundation Mortgage as an underwriter, bringing more than 20 years of experience in underwriting, operations, and risk oversight. Most recently, he served as senior vice president of credit and risk at EPM, where he oversaw wholesale and correspondent underwriting teams, developed credit policy, and streamlined operational performance. Brousseau is both VA SAR and FHA DE certified, and his background includes leadership roles at First Guaranty Mortgage, loanDepot, and Carrington Mortgage Services.

Williams brings more than 30 years of mortgage operations experience to her new role at Foundation Mortgage. As processing and operations manager at Lending 3 Inc. and Gemini 2 Realty, she built and led high-performing teams responsible for loan processing, compliance, and customer service. Her expertise in federal and state lending regulations, pipeline management, and team development will help enhance operational efficiency and support the company’s continued growth trajectory.

Turner, a seasoned Non-QM and jumbo mortgage underwriter, adds to the company more than 15 years of specialized experience across top-tier financial institutions including Newfi Lending, MUFG Union Bank, UBS, and Caliber Home Loans. His expertise in manual underwriting, risk assessment, and Non-QM portfolio performance makes him an key addition to Foundation’s credit team. Turner’s collaborative, analytical approach aligns with Foundation’s mission to combine innovation with prudent, common-sense decision-making.

“Operational strength is the heartbeat of sustainable growth,” said Marc Halpern, CEO of Foundation Mortgage. “Phil, Toniey, and Patrick each bring exceptional expertise that will help us maintain speed, accuracy, and the rock-solid reliability our brokers expect. Their leadership ensures we remain positioned to serve our partners with common-sense lending backed by world-class execution.”

Foundation Mortgage recently added four new account executives — Ryan Lombarde, Jimmy Hendrickson, Michael Nguyen, and Jeffrey Ly — to its sales team.

“Growth is only meaningful when it’s backed by great people,” added Halpern. “Ryan, Jimmy, Michael, and Jeffrey each bring the kind of drive, professionalism, and common-sense approach to lending that defines who we are as a company. Expanding our account executive team allows us to reach more brokers nationwide and continue delivering the responsive, relationship-based service we’re known for.”
