Industry veteran takes on dual roles and seeks to expand the lender network
Online loan marketplace LendingTree has promoted Sam Mischner to chief sales officer and the newly-formed role of head of mortgage.
In his new role, Mischner will lead LendingTree’s sales strategy and operations. He will also continue managing the company’s home lending product marketplace while growing a network of lenders through new client and lender sales. He was previously senior vice president of sales and general manager of mortgage.
"Sam's strong background in the mortgage industry and proven success in scaling LendingTree's sales organization is an instrumental piece to LendingTree's strategic growth," said Neil Salvage, President of LendingTree. "We're proud to have Sam on our team and look forward to what his leadership in this role will bring to LendingTree, its customers and partners."
Mischner said he is “excited and appreciative” of the opportunity, as he looks to navigate the firm’s growth in a changing market landscape. "Our emphasis on lender success enables us to not only grow our existing network, but also to add more lenders to the LendingTree platform. As the mortgage business continues to diversify, innovate and shift online, I am thrilled to help lead the team as we scale and look to gain market share.”
With more than a decade of lender-side and client sales management experience, Mischner joined the company in 2013. Since then, he structured and scaled LendingTree’s sales organization and achieved record revenue metrics. Mischner contributed to the diversification of revenue into other verticals, the shift in focus to lender success, and helped find mutually beneficial solutions for both lenders and the company, said LendingTree.
