LenderLive taps bench for newly created CISO role

Mortgage services provider LenderLive Holdings has promoted Ian Morgan to chief information security officer as customer information issues have become a critical priority among its clients.

In his new role, Morgan will partner with the company’s business lines to enhance existing security controls.

Morgan has been with LenderLive since September 2010, holding roles with increasing management responsibility within the organization. He most recently served as vice president of technology solutions. In that role, he led the build-out of the company’s workflow system, strengthened the company’s eSign, eMortgage, and document imaging platforms, and worked to meet comprehensive audit requirements.

“Information security has become a critical and essential priority for our clients. By creating a dedicated executive-level position, we are demonstrating our commitment to protecting client and customer information entrusted to LenderLive,” LenderLive Chairman and CEO Rob Clements said. “Ian is a perfect fit for this position. He’s a seasoned financial services veteran with deep industry knowledge in information technology and security. During his tenure at LenderLive, he has demonstrated proven success in building strong teams to achieve a streamlined and cohesive operation. I am confident that Ian will continue to be a critical contributor as we grow and evolve.”
