Panorama Mortgage Group (PMG), a national mortgage company headquartered in Nevada, announced that Ryan Rathert has joined the firm as chief financial officer effective today.
"My job is really to drive the day-to-day business performance while keeping in mind obviously the overall strategy and growth goals to hit financial metrics," Rathert said.
A financial executive with more than 15 years in mortgage leadership, Rathert spent the last eight years with Stearns Lending in a variety of roles. Most recently, he served as COO/CFO of the wholesale mortgage channel. His past positions included production CFO, head of private label operations, and several senior finance and business support roles for Stearns Lending, Wells Fargo, and Mr. Cooper.
"We are excited for Ryan to bring his expertise and strategic approach to grow PMG like we've never seen before," said Sarah Gonzalez, PMG president and chief operations officer.
An active participant in industry advocacy, Rathert holds an Accredited Mortgage Professional designation with the Mortgage Bankers Association and participates in industry events and Stratmor Roundtables. He earned his bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Iowa.
"My goal is to be able to bring a partnership culture within the business to help drive success for the company and for our borrowers. I love the underserved market,” he said. “I think that this is a fast-growing avenue, and I love seeing more support and investment into their communities.”
Panorama Mortgage Group began in 2007, originating from Alterra Home Loans, which focused on serving first-time Hispanic homebuyers; it has since grown to over $1.3 billion in annual originations. In 2019, PMG grew its mission-driven focus by adding two new brands: Legacy Home Loans, which focuses on increasing Black homeownership rate in America, and Inspiro Financial, a joint venture with one of the country's largest real estate firms.
