National mortgage lender Waterstone Mortgage Corporation announced the promotion of Jennifer George to vice president – investor relations and credit policy. George has more than 30 years of experience in the mortgage lending industry.
Throughout her career, George has held a variety of positions. In 1992, she started in a customer service support role for a mortgage servicer. From there, she transitioned into the areas of funding, closing, processing, and underwriting. She joined Waterstone Mortgage in 2018 as the regional underwriting manager for the company’s west region and was later promoted to vice president – credit policy.
