iEmergent CEO Laird Nossuli named to MPA’s 2023 list of Elite Women in Mortgage

DES MOINES, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- iEmergent, a forecasting and advisory services firm for the financial services, mortgage and real estate industries, announced today that CEO Laird Nossuli has been named to Mortgage Professional America (MPA) magazine's 2023 list of Elite Women in Mortgage.

Nossuli was recognized for helping lenders grow market share more inclusively using iEmergent's groundbreaking Mortgage MarketSmart platform, an innovative solution that accurately and reliably forecasts demographic, economic and housing market trends at the neighborhood level. By effectively mapping the movement and growth of homebuyer segments, including diverse communities, it empowers lenders with vital intelligence to better serve their markets.

The transformative impact of Nossuli's work is evident in the results achieved by iEmergent's clients. For instance, one financial institution saw a 125% increase in lending to African Americans and significant overall growth within 12 months of implementing Mortgage MarketSmart. Another mortgage company in the mid-Atlantic saw its market share in majority Black and Hispanic census tracts steadily increase each month it used MarketSmart, helping it move from the #14 overall lender to the #11 overall lender in its market in only four months. Nossuli's commitment to driving industry change and meeting the home financing needs of underserved minority markets is further exemplified by initiatives such as DIVERSIFi, created in collaboration with the National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America (NAMMBA), and her involvement in the Mortgage Bankers Association's CONVERGENCE initiative.

"I am honored to be recognized in this fashion among an exceptional cohort of Elite Women in Mortgage," said Nossuli. "This award is a testament to our entire team's commitment to helping lenders grow through market intelligence that illuminates overlooked business opportunities in any market, many of which are found in diverse communities that have a need for better access to financial services."

Two ACES Quality Management executives selected by MPA Magazine for its annual Elite Women Awards program

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced Amanda Phillips, executive vice president of compliance, and Sharon Reichhardt, executive vice president of operations, have been selected by Mortgage Professional America (MPA) in its 2021 Elite Women Awards program.

Phillips serves as ACES' in-house subject matter expert. She plays a key role in ACES' ability to provide banks with better control over their loan quality, expanding banks' capacity for auditing their organization by increasing audit speeds by more than 50% and improving revenue retention by providing better visibility across multiple lines of business. In less than a year, Phillips launched four major compliance initiatives aimed at improving the quality of existing and new ACES products to better serve clients, expanded the compliance team and established new procedures and workflows to maintain the integrity of ACES' compliance products and efficiency in product updates and releases.

Reichhardt's role at ACES centers on solving problems and finding ways for lender clients to use technology to do better, safer, more efficient business. As a natural teacher, Reichhardt doesn't merely solve problems, but rather provides everyone with a marketable skill set for reducing risk and preventing loss. Under Reichhardt's direction, the Client Success team uses a direct, hands-on approach focused on listening to clients, observing their work activities and understanding their unique footprint and target goals. They guide implementations and perform professional service engagements, maintaining strong bi-directional communication that assures each client is maximizing usage of the ACES platform.

"A key ingredient to a successful organization is amazing people; Amanda and Sharon are a prime example of this. They each bring a unique level of expertise to the ACES team," said Trevor Gauthier, CEO of ACES. "They are respected professionals, regularly speaking on behalf of ACES and contributors within and outside of ACES. We're all extremely proud of Amanda and Sharon for their achievements."

Prior to joining ACES, Phillips served as counsel with Ballard Spahr, LLP, where her responsibilities included advising clients on the federal and state regulatory requirements governing mortgage lending, fintech, mortgage documents, business processes and practices. Before her time at Ballard Spahr, she spent six years as in-house counsel and executive vice president of legal and regulatory compliance for Accenture Mortgage Cadence and an additional five years as senior vice president and director of compliance for a national mortgage lender.

Reichhardt has created virtually every position she has held by identifying unmet needs, developing a repeatable process that successfully solves those needs and creating the infrastructure that could scale with as opportunities and operations grew. Prior to joining ACES, Reichhardt was a strategic reporting and technology manager at EverBank.

Mortgage Professional America Honors Lori Johnson of DocMagic with 2021 Elite Women in Mortgage Award

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance, and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that its director of client services, Lori Johnson, has received the 2021 Elite Women in Mortgage award from Mortgage Professional America (MPA).

Now in its fifth year, MPA's Elite Women award celebrates the outstanding achievements of women that work in the mortgage industry. MPA created the award to recognize the exceptional work of women whose efforts and contributions are paving the way for future generations. The award largely looks back at recent accomplishments that are having a positive effect on the mortgage industry.

"Being recognized alongside other accomplished females that are doing exceptional things for the industry is a huge honor for me," stated Johnson. "For years, the outstanding team I work with at DocMagic has been moving mountains to help lenders, settlement providers, investors, and other relevant parties automate manual workflows and remove paper from antiquated processes. I thank the judges at MPA for their research and the hard work of my entire team for making this accolade a reality."

MPA's judges were impressed with Lori's roll-up-your-sleeves leadership style that places the company and customer first, making excellence in service her primary focus. She works passionately and tirelessly to ensure that complex and precision-based eClosing and digital mortgage technology implementations are executed flawlessly, delivering a level of customer satisfaction that lenders and partners rave about.

In particular, Lori is credited with helping DocMagic's lender clients achieve a huge uptick in growth - via eClosing technology. First, the remote implementation model she oversaw was wildly successful in helping lenders clients to go live without disruption to operations during and after the pandemic.

Second, she successfully transitioned her entire team virtually overnight to a work-from-home (WFH) environment where they were able to execute tasks just as effectively as when they were at DocMagic's headquarters.

Of note is that Lori's efforts helped DocMagic land on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list, with a 67 percent three-year growth rate from 2017 to 2020. More and more lenders in the mortgage industry are now seeing the immense value of automating the closing process from start to finish. This has helped tremendously with adoption of this component of the digital mortgage workflow --- fully paperless closings.

DocMagic will close 2021 out with another banner year in sales, new client implementations, solution enhancements, seamless integrations, and more. Company officials say 2022 will be another strong year for technology innovation in the mortgage industry.
