Union Home Mortgage has appointed former Newrez executive Dino Lack as chief information officer, bringing in a veteran mortgage technology leader as the lender continues expanding its operational and automation strategy.
The Strongsville, Ohio-based lender said Lack will lead enterprise technology initiatives focused on workflow automation, AI integration, and modernization of the mortgage process across the organization.
Lack brings more than 20 years of mortgage technology experience to the role, with prior executive positions including CIO at Newrez and chief product officer at Caliber Home Loans. Most recently, Lack served as executive vice president of technology at Xpanse, an AI-focused mortgage technology company.
“Dino's vision aligns perfectly with our mission to create a world-class experience for our customers, partners, and employees,” UHM President and CEO Bill Cosgrove said in the announcement. “His extensive expertise in driving digital transformation and fostering innovation will be instrumental as we continue to scale our operations and leverage technology to empower our team.”
Lack said the lender’s technology strategy will focus on using automation to improve efficiency while allowing employees to spend more time on customer relationships and service.
“I am thrilled to join Union Home at a time when we are laser-focused on empowering our Partners,” Lack said. “Our goal isn't just to implement technology for technology's sake; it's to bring tools to our human workforce that allow them to work smarter, not harder. By automating the routine, we empower our people to focus on what they do best: building relationships and delivering world-class service.”
The hire comes as lenders across the industry continue investing heavily in AI-assisted workflows, fulfillment automation and operational efficiency tools while navigating a still-competitive origination market.
According to Modex data, UHM generated approximately $7.25 billion in mortgage volume over the trailing 12-month period ending March 2026, across more than 25,700 units. Purchase lending accounted for roughly $4.68 billion of that production.
The lender operates 193 branches with 831 loan officers nationwide and maintains business lines spanning conventional, FHA, VA, construction and manufactured housing lending.
Modex data also showed a smaller but growing Non-QM footprint, with approximately $15.72 million in production over the same trailing 12-month period.
