FirstClose announced the expansion of its sales organization with the addition of four sales professionals:
- Previously with Volly and ClosingCorp, Austin Wilcox brings a strong background in sales and client success to his new role as regional vice president.
- Darcy Hall, who most recently worked for MMI, has joined as a business development manager focused on driving pipeline growth and lender outreach.
- Jon Del Pozo, an accomplished sales leader with experience at ICE and Ellie Mae, will be a regional vice president.
- Tracy Farber joins FirstClose as vice president, sales solution engineer and brings more than 15 years of experience from Ellie Mae, SimpleNexus and nCino.
“This team expansion represents our continued investment in delivering superior solutions and service to the lending community,” FirstClose Chief Revenue Officer John Aslanian said in a release. “With experienced professionals joining our sales organization, we’re positioned to help more lenders capitalize on the growing demand for home equity products while improving their operational efficiency and borrower experience.”
The new hires join sales leaders Rob Pommier, Paul Friedrichs and Ian Voigt as the company continues to scale its go-to-market efforts. With these additions, FirstClose is now fully staffed on the sales front. The expanded team enhances FirstClose’s ability to strengthen lender relationships, accelerate sales cycles and extend the reach of its end-to-end digital platform, according to a release.
“As market dynamics shift and home equity continues to gain traction, having the right people in place is essential,” FirstClose CEO Tedd Smith said “By expanding our front-line sales organization, we’re better equipped to support lenders looking to modernize their home equity workflows. Our technology simplifies the process, shortens time to close, and helps unlock new revenue potential, delivering real impact where it matters most.”
