Roundtable awards other mortgage heavyweights
Digital mortgage platform provider Ellie Mae has announced that founder and CEO Sig Anderman received the Distinguished Career Award from Executive Roundtable for mortgage finance.
The award, which recognizes leaders who have made a significant impact to the mortgage finance industry, has also honored FHA Commissioner Brian Montgomery, former Mortgage Bankers Association President David Stevens, and ex-Radian CEO S.A. Ibrahim.
“The word legend gets tossed around in our industry from time to time,” said MBA Chairman Christopher George who presented the award. “When it comes to Sig Anderman, he is very deserving of that title. Inspired by Sig’s vision, Ellie Mae led the charge to automate the mortgage industry. Ellie Mae’s Encompass Digital Lending Platform is now used to process and fund 40% of all the mortgage loans originated in America. To achieve the level of impact in our industry that he has, and to do it with the grace and gratitude that Sig has, is nothing short of inspirational.”
In 1998, Anderman founded Ellie Mae to automate anything that could be automated in the residential mortgage industry.
“We started the company to provide technology tools for mortgage originators and take the excessive costs, delays and stress out of the home-buying process for people making a significant and emotional purchase,” said Anderman.
Mortgage industry leaders from CMG Financial, CoreLogic, First American Title, HUD, MBA, Wells Fargo, Quicken Loans, and other mortgage companies and organizations also participated in the roundtable.
