Nationwide Title Clearing, Inc.’s (NTC) CEO John Hillman has been recognized by the PROGRESS in Lending Association as a 2020 Thought Leader.
“We live in unusual times. The impact of COVID-19 shows us that it’s time to think outside of the box so we can move forward as a country and a world,” said Tony Garritano, chairman and founder of PROGRESS in Lending Association. “Our existing awards all acknowledge the good work that executives are doing now, but we think it’s time to reward future work and initiatives. We need thought leaders that are not afraid to step forward and blaze a new trail. We need creativity. We need bold new ideas.”
Hillman joined NTC 24 years ago and has been at its helm for the past 15 years. He has led the company into becoming one of the largest lien release providers in the world.
“Early on, we saw that the companies that excelled created tools that gave mortgage servicers more control over the critical tasks they were managing,” Hillman said. “The tools we are deploying today are designed to give servicers this control.”
“Today, it is more important than ever. COVID-19 has introduced unprecedented complexity to the servicing business, and without prudent management, we could see another historic crisis,” Hillman said. “Our team is putting a significant amount of effort into making sure that servicers are equipped to handle anything that comes at their businesses next.”
