Fidelity National Financial (FNF) appointed Chief Marketing Officer Brian Maughan as executive vice president, chief innovation officer. In his expanded role, Maughan will analyze trends and market disruptions, search for emerging market and technology opportunities, direct investments into new and existing initiatives and drive business and technical innovations throughout the FNF enterprise.
“I look forward to having the unique opportunity to help FNF transform the real estate transaction at scale,” Maughan told The Title Report. “FNF has a long history of making significant investments in technology for ourselves and our customers. With our national footprint, industry leading market share, and unmatched capital position, we are primed to continue these investments. That makes every day very interesting here.”
“We look forward to Brian taking on this expanded leadership role within FNF,” CEO Mike Nolan said. “While FNF has always taken an innovative approach to growth and market leadership, Brian’s new focus will help FNF to aggressively identify and invest in new solutions, joint ventures, acquisitions, and ground-breaking initiatives that will continue our leadership and dominance in the market.”
After leading the product management and marketing of an early-stage startup that pioneered digital signatures technology, Maughan joined FNF, where he has spent the last decade advancing technology initiatives, sales and marketing efforts and real estate technology investments as chief marketing officer. Along with FNF Chief Digital Officer Jason Nadeau, Maughan has led the strategy and successful development of FNF’s digital initiatives and solutions.
“Innovation runs deep in our FNF culture,” Maughan said. “It is expected in every position throughout our companies. It is not something we outsource. That’s the fun part. This new role signals the importance of our innovative culture and our commitment to making significant investments that directly transform our customer’s experience, grow market share, and drive productivity in our core business channels.”
