North American Title Insurance Co. (NATIC) recently added Sheila Thiele to its underwriting team. Serving as associate national underwriting and expansion counsel, Thiele assists NATIC/Doma’s national underwriting and state expansion team with underwriting, regulatory and compliance matters.
“Sheila’s 10 years of national title insurance experience working in high-volume and frequently high-stress environments translates into stellar critical thinking on complex issues, prompt responses, attention to detail and the ability to meet short deadlines,” NATIC/Doma National Underwriting and Expansion Counsel David Jenkins said in a release. “She will be an integral addition to our team, helping to research and prepare regulatory and compliant training materials and answer underwriting questions for our affiliated title agent.”
Thiele has 15 years of legal experience, including serving as in-house underwriting counsel for a national title insurance agent, specializing in REO foreclosure sales, residential refinance, reverse mortgages and commercial transactions. She also served as associate counsel for a national title insurance underwriter and as an attorney for two Kansas City area law firms, representing clients in residential and commercial real estate transactions and civil litigation.
She earned her juris doctor degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law and a master’s degree in public administration from Bellevue University.
“I’m excited to work with our team as we move into new states with technology-driven title products,” Thiele said. “It’s a pleasure to be part of the positive, forward-thinking progress that NATIC/Doma is making at such an innovative time in the title industry.”
