NAF names new EVP of national sales

New American Funding (NAF) has announced the appointment of industry veteran Andy Pettola (pictured) as executive vice president of national sales.

With over three decades of experience, Pettola will be in charge of growing sales and scaling operations in key strategic markets, as well as developing growth, competitive, and profitability strategies globally. 

“Pettola’s culture-first leadership style will fit right in at NAF,” the company, which recently rebranded to NAF, said in its news release. “Over the course of his career, Pettola has served in senior executive leadership positions in wholesale, retail, and correspondent channels and has a proven track record of building out sales and operational platforms both locally and nationally.”

Pettola joins NAF from Envoy Mortgage, where he spent nearly nine years, most recently as director of national sales. Before Envoy, he was executive vice president of wholesale lending at Total Mortgage Services.

“We are thrilled to welcome Andy to our company,” NAF president Christy Bunce said. “Throughout his career, he’s shown the ability to balance growth, profitability, and operational support, all while providing best-in-class service to his sales teams and clients alike. We are confident that Andy will use his expertise to take our sales organization to the next level.”

NAF celebrated its 20th anniversary in March, revealing a major rebrand to mark the milestone.

“Now, as we evolve our business and become the mortgage company of the future, this is the perfect time to unveil a fresh brand identity,” said Rick Arvielo, co-founder and CEO of NAF, at the time. “We feel this evolution will help people across the country discover what makes the NAF family of companies so unique and the numerous ways we can help people achieve their dreams.”
