Ditech Holding has announced the addition of origination and technology executives to its leadership team as it continues to transform its business after emerging from bankruptcy in February.

The company, previously known as Walter Investment Management, has appointed Robert Pieklo as head of revenue management and Andrew Badstubner as chief technology officer. Both Pieklo and Badstubner will report to Ditech COO Ritesh Chaturbedi.

In his new role, Pieklo will lead the company’s consumer and business lending businesses. He brings capital markets and digital lending experience to the role. Before joining Ditech, Pieklo spent 14 years in various leadership roles at American Financial Resources/eLEND. He was most recently chief strategy officer with responsibility for leading strategic initiatives while overseeing the capital markets and consumer direct divisions.

"Rob is a true thought leader and his extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry is expected to be beneficial to the company and its efforts to improve the performance of its originations business," Chaturbedi said.

Badstubner moves to his role with leadership experience in technology application and business growth. Most recently, he was CEO of Amplify Technology Group, a consulting firm which he founded. Previously, he was CTO of online financial technology company Kabbage.

"Andy is an exciting addition to our team. He has an impressive background in enterprise technology and experience in application development and implementation that is expected to help us create a technology environment that drives innovation and that allows our customers to make faster decisions," Chaturbedi said.
