Executive "has a proven track record of leading high performing technology organizations"
Fintech leader Mitchell Johnson is joining digital mortgage exchange company MAXEX as chief technology officer.
Johnson, whose career spans more than 25 years, will oversee the firm’s product strategy, data, security, and technology. According to MAXEX, the move comes at a crucial time for the company, which previously posted a record $18 billion in non-agency trading volume. Johnson will play a key role in scaling MAXEX’s digital mortgage exchange and platform.
“MAXEX is an exciting and rapidly-growing fintech company that is uniquely positioned within the largest credit market in the world — the US mortgage loan market,” Johnson said. “MAXEX is solving a series of highly complex and antiquated problems with the way mortgage loans are traded. The company has made amazing progress increasing liquidity in the US housing markets, and I am thrilled to join and lead this talented technology team.”
Before MAXEX, Johnson served as chief technology officer at eVestment, a NASDAQ company originally backed by Insight Venture Partners. He has also held leadership roles at Equifax, Grant Thornton and Delta Air Lines.
“MAXEX has been fortunate to attract exceptional talent at all levels of our organization as more and more people realize both the complexity and the significance of the problems we are solving,” said Bill Decker, president and chief operating officer of MAXEX. “Mitchell shares in the same bold vision and passion for problem-solving as the rest of our leadership team and has a proven track record of leading high performing technology organizations across similarly complex businesses.”
