Digital Risk reinforces diligence services leadership

Digital Risk has enhanced the leadership of its diligence services team with the appointment of Jim Jajtner as vice president of diligence services.

Jajtner joins Sadie Gurley, who was recently named head of diligence services. With the enhanced team, Digital Risk seeks to facilitate rapid access to loan information from client systems and boost loan evaluation services.

In his new role, Jajtner will manage the day-to-day operations of Digital Risk’s internal due diligence underwriting teams along with managing workflow to achieve department goals.

"Jim's 18 years of industry experience in running large, complex due diligence trades and track record of increasing quality, speed, and technology performance in his prior leadership roles, was the perfect fit," CEO Puneet Bhirani said. "With high demand for due diligence services, our combination of state-of-the-art solutions with personalized and scalable interfaces and experienced leaders to implement and maintain them makes Digital Risk's diligence services unit an unparalleled service offering."

With 18 years in the mortgage industry, Jajtner brings experience in underwriting, regulatory compliance, training, residential and commercial loan servicing, loss mitigation, and collections to his new role.

He joins the company from Clayton Holdings, where he served as director of operations and due diligence underwriting. In that role, he was in charge of operations for the internal due diligence underwriting teams, which consisted of roughly 250 credit, compliance, and valuations staff members.

Earlier in his career, Jajtner worked as an underwriting manager, loan originator, closer, processor, and post-close funder at Equix Financial Services.
