Strategic move to enhance services for mortgage banks

Incenter promotes COO, eyes expansion into IMB market

Incenter has elevated Sara Parrish (pictured) to chief operating officer while retaining her role as president of CampusDoor, Incenter’s subsidiary specializing in student and specialty loan origination.

Parrish will continue to head CampusDoor, one of the nation’s largest student and specialty loan origination platforms. Under her leadership since 2022, CampusDoor has processed $36 billion in private student loan applications.

“I am thrilled to be working closely with Sara at this key point in Incenter’s lifecycle,” Incenter president Bruno Pasceri said in a media release. “As we plan for additional expansion, Sara’s vision, problem-solving talents, discipline, and natural leadership skills will be invaluable.”

Parrish, who joined CampusDoor in 2016 after holding operational roles at the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, expressed her enthusiasm for Incenter’s future growth opportunities.

“It is a privilege to help steward the future of Incenter,” Parrish said. “We enjoy many opportunities to leverage our unique intellectual property, services, and expertise and accelerate new solutions into the market at scale to help our clients.”

The promotion comes as Incenter prepares for strategic growth, including offering services to independent mortgage banks (IMBs).

Last fall, Incenter announced plans to broaden its services beyond student lending, aiming to serve national and regional banks, credit unions, servicers, investors, and asset managers. The company is also focusing on enhancing the growth and efficiency of IMBs through its variable-cost, mission-critical services.
