Morales has nearly 25 years of mort- gage and real estate industry experience, and in his new role, he will use not only his industry knowledge, but the connec- tions he has built to help the Mortgage Cadence sales team bring tech offerings to new lenders. Morales was key in developing strategy, directing branch/loan originator relations, overseeing reverse mortgage products, pricing, compliance, and relationships with vendors and other industry partners for The Sless Group of Primary Residential Mortgage Inc (PRMI). He also has years of multi- channel experience in sales, marketing, management, strategic planning, and origination expertise for American Advi- sors Group (AAG) and others. "Mortgage Cadence works hard to give lenders the tools they need to be suc- cessful and working with the sales team to share those tools with our industry is an exciting step for me," Morales said. "I am looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish together!" Morales will also help broaden the sales team's expertise by bringing his knowledge of the reverse mortgage sector to the team, previously serving as Mortgage Cadence's Reverse Mortgage Product Manager. "George has been an invaluable part of the Mortgage Cadence team since he joined us," said Seth Hooper, EVP of Product Management at Mortgage Cadence. "He has a wealth of industry expertise and there is no doubt he will be a key resource for our sales team."
