The enterprise segment has so much to gain from the efficiencies, cost savings, and fast return on their technology investment as they turn to Encompass to close more loans, close loans faster, and reduce their cost of origination.

Before moving to Ellie Mae, Ard held various leadership and management roles at First American Mortgage Solutions. He most recently served as senior vice president for sales and business development.

It is an opportunity to help these lenders succeed and grow Ellie Mae’s market share.”
