Former Spring Oaks Capital CFO joins digital mortgage loan exchange to lead capital strategy and support growth initiatives

MAXEX has appointed John McNeill as chief financial officer, adding a mortgage finance and capital markets veteran to its executive leadership team.

McNeill will oversee MAXEX's financial strategy, including capital formation, capital deployment, financial operations, and corporate growth initiatives.

McNeill brings more than 20 years of experience in finance, accounting, and capital markets across mortgage finance, fintech, and asset management. During his career, he has held senior leadership roles at Ocwen Financial Corporation and Home Loan Servicing Solutions, as well as positions across fintech and global asset management firms. Most recently, he served as CFO of Spring Oaks Capital, a fintech company focused on managing consumer credit portfolios.

"MAXEX has built a tremendous technology company and loan trading business attracting over 400 blue-chip originators and the market's leading institutional buyers to the exchange," McNeill said. "I am honored to join this talented leadership team and look forward to helping craft and execute our capital strategy to support the company's next chapter of growth."

MAXEX Co-Founder and CEO Tom Pearce said McNeill joins the company during a period of continued expansion.

"John's financial expertise and deep mortgage and credit market experience make him an excellent addition to MAXEX at a pivotal time in the company's growth," Pearce said. "With Tradeweb's recent strategic investment and collaboration, John will play a critical role as we continue to expand the business both organically and through strategic growth opportunities while advancing our vision to fully digitize the U.S. residential mortgage market."

McNeill's appointment follows MAXEX's strategic collaboration earlier this year with Tradeweb Markets, which the company said expands institutional access to U.S. residential mortgage trading. According to MAXEX, the company continues to broaden its market presence and deepen liquidity across its exchange network.
