Mr. Cooper Group has announced that it has appointed Christopher Marshall as vice chairman and CFO.

Marshall will assume the vice chairman role, a newly created officer position, effective Jan. 2. His appointment as CFO will be effective immediately following the filing of the company's annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2018.

Marshall will succeed Amar Patel, who has been serving as interim CFO since March 2017. Patel will remain with the company during a transition period.

“We’re excited to welcome Chris to Mr. Cooper,” said Jay Bray, chairman and CEO of Mr. Cooper Group. “Chris’ vast financial, operational, and strategic experience will be invaluable to the company as we work to deliver more value to shareholders, customers, and team members.

“On behalf of everyone at Mr. Cooper Group, I want to thank Amar for his many contributions to our company over the last 12 years,” Bray added. “Amar’s leadership has played a key role in many of our company’s successes, including most recently our merger with WMIH Corp., the acquisition of Assurant Mortgage Solutions, and the pending acquisition of Pacific Union Financial.”

Marshall most recently served as co-founder and CFO of Capital Bank Financial, serving in the company since 2009. He led the company through its IPO as well as the acquisition and integration of eight community banks and the sale of the company to First Horizon.

Earlier in his career, Marshall served as chief restructuring officer and senior advisor to the CEO at GMAC and as CFO at Fifth Third Bancorp. Prior to that, Marshall was a member of the management operating committee at Bank of America and held key leadership roles including CFO of the consumer products group and COO of the global consumer and small business bank.
