Kara Lamphere Joins InterLinc As Chief Operations Officer

InterLinc Mortgage, a full-service mortgage lender, has hired Kara Lamphere, as chief operations officer. She was previously with Guaranteed Rate.

Lamphere marks the first female in a C-suite role at the Houston-based InterLinc. She is a seasoned mortgage executive with over 20 years of experience in operations, sales and compliance. 

“InterLinc’s story and trajectory were major factors in my decision to become a part of this incredible company. Their history of success and the constant pursuit of a better experience for every borrower, business partner and employee are why I decided to join,” said Lamphere.

Over two-thirds of InterLinc’s employees are women, the company noted in a press release.
