Reza Jahangiri launched American Advisors Group (AAG) in 2004, the nation's leader in reverse mortgage lending and a pioneer in helping older Americans responsibly use their home equity to retire better.

In 2018, Ernst & Young awarded him Entrepreneur Of The Year in the financial services category in Orange County. He was also on MPAm’s Hot List the same year. Before starting AAG, Jahangiri was a founding partner of HeartSavers, a medical imaging company that worked with Johns Hopkins Hospital on the early detection of heart disease and cancer. Regarded as an industry expert, he is the co-chair of the 2018-2019 board of directors at the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association.
