Fintech veteran Mark Jones joins Informative Research to lead partner strategy, strengthen mortgage and fintech relationships, and scale the company’s channel program nationwide

Informative Research (IR), a provider of data-driven credit and verification technology for the lending industry, has appointed fintech veteran Mark Jones as its new senior vice president of partner success. In his new role, Jones will lead efforts to expand IR’s market presence and strengthen partnerships across the mortgage and fintech ecosystems.

Based in Garden Grove, California, Informative Research delivers credit and verification solutions designed to streamline mortgage workflows for lenders, banks, and financial institutions nationwide. With lending operations increasingly reliant on integrated data platforms, IR has positioned itself as a key technology partner in the mortgage origination process.

“Mark’s experience building effective partnerships in complex, tech-forward environments makes him an ideal leader for this role,” said IR Executive Vice President and Head of Client Success and Sales James Boss. “His ability to align product, sales, and partner strategy will be instrumental as we scale our channel program and deliver even greater value to our clients.”

Jones brings more than 20 years of experience in financial technology, strategic partnerships, and product leadership to the role. He is tasked with developing and scaling a comprehensive partner strategy that aligns IR’s product, marketing, finance, and client success teams to improve onboarding, performance standards, and operational consistency.

Prior to joining Informative Research, Jones served as partner account manager at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Mortgage Technology, where he managed strategic partners and contributed to year-over-year revenue growth. He has also held senior roles at Accenture and Prime Alliance Solutions, where he focused on aligning product and go-to-market strategies and expanding customer bases.

“As the mortgage industry continues to evolve, stable business connections are essential to delivering seamless, secure, and scalable solutions,” said Jones. “Informative Research has a long-standing reputation for operational excellence. I look forward to building a network that strengthens our value proposition and drives meaningful growth for IR, our partners, and our clients.”
