Experienced financial leaders bring fresh perspectives to association and home equity company
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and home equity lender Hometap have welcomed new chief financial officers (CFOs).
Astrid Vermeer (pictured left) has joined MBA as senior vice president and CFO, where she will take charge of overseeing the association's financial reporting, budgeting, and risk management.
With over 20 years of experience in financial leadership, Vermeer brings a solid background from her previous roles at the Perkins School for the Blind, where she managed a $100 million budget, and at the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), where she handled financial management across 30 countries. She has also held leadership roles at the American Red Cross and the World Wildlife Fund.
“Astrid is an accomplished leader who comes to MBA with vast experience and an exceptional track record of providing executive-level leadership and financial management at top organizations,” MBA’s president and CEO Bob Broeksmit said in a statement. “I welcome her to the MBA family and am confident she will fit right in with the senior leadership team, staff, and our member leaders, overseeing our financial operations and implementing long-term investment strategies that will further strengthen the association.”
There’s also a new chief financial officer Hometap. The Boston-based fintech company, focused on debt-free home equity financing, has tapped Tom Egan (pictured right) to guide the company’s financial strategies and capital deployment initiatives.
Egan comes to Hometap with more than 15 years of experience in financial services, including his recent position as CFO and head of capital markets at Divvy Homes.
Egan’s leadership will focus on expanding Hometap’s financial operations, with an emphasis on corporate finance, tax, and budgeting, as well as asset management strategies. His background in capital markets, notably at Barclays, where he handled leveraged loan and high-yield bond transactions, positions him well to navigate the firm’s growth.
