MaxClass has appointed Carrie Read as director of compliance, bringing more than two decades of mortgage industry experience to the company's education and consulting operations.
Read most recently served as senior vice president of compliance, risk, and operations at Lenderworks, where she worked with mortgage lenders nationwide on regulatory compliance and operational oversight.
In her new role, Read will help oversee MaxClass's compliance education content and consulting services for mortgage brokers, independent mortgage banks, community banks, and credit unions.
Her appointment adds operational and regulatory expertise to the mortgage education provider as lenders and originators contend with evolving compliance requirements.
Experience Across the Loan Lifecycle
Read began her mortgage career as a junior underwriter before moving into leadership positions spanning processing, operations, quality control, and compliance.
She previously led processing teams at JPMorgan Chase and Goldwater Bank and later held broader operational and compliance responsibilities.
Her experience includes both the day-to-day mechanics of mortgage origination and the regulatory oversight required to manage lending operations.
That combination of experience was a key factor in her appointment, according to MaxClass CEO Kelly Hendricks.
"Carrie knows compliance from the regulations down to how they actually play out on a loan file and in a lender's daily operations," Hendricks said in announcing the appointment on LinkedIn.
Expanding Compliance Education and Consulting
At MaxClass, Read will contribute to compliance training materials and customized consulting services designed to help mortgage professionals understand and apply regulatory requirements.
Her responsibilities will extend beyond loan originator education to supporting lenders and financial institutions with compliance-related operational needs.
The appointment reflects MaxClass's emphasis on incorporating practical lending experience into its educational offerings, particularly as regulatory changes require mortgage professionals to update their procedures and training.
Read's background in underwriting, processing, lender operations, and risk management gives her experience across the functions that compliance policies affect.
MaxClass said her appointment will support its efforts to keep mortgage originators and lending institutions current on regulatory requirements while strengthening its compliance consulting capabilities.
