loanDepot, Inc. ("LDI" or "Company") (NYSE: LDI) today announced that Chief Information Officer George Brady has received HousingWire’s 2023 “Tech Trendsetters” award recognizing the most impactful and innovative technology leaders in the housing economy.

“loanDepot was founded with a vision to be the most innovative and customer-focused provider of mortgage lending solutions in the industry,” said loanDepot, Inc. President and CEO Frank Martell. “That vision was powered by our focus on recruiting and retaining the best people in the business and enabling them to delight our customers through excellent customer service and leading-edge technology platforms. George and his team have built on that legacy of forward-thinking excellence, delivering increasing value to our customers via best-in-class platforms that enrich and support their homeownership journey.”

My passion lies in using technology to remove the impediments and friction points that stand in their way. loanDepot has an incredible strategic focus on supporting affordable and accessible housing through purpose-driven lending, and this award is proof that with the support of our exceptional team, we are making a difference every day.”

Brady and his team of technologists are key enablers of loanDepot’s Vision 2025 plan, which was developed to both navigate the near-term changes to the mortgage market and position the company for long-term growth. Among the team’s critical and transformative technology accomplishments were the launch and scaling of a national digital HELOC offering, an upgrade of the company’s direct lending customer acquisition platform, and the development of a new automated underwriting engine. Along the way, Brady and his team have also successfully enhanced loan production quality through technology, and actively share best practices with the Company’s partners for the benefit of the industry.
