Amanda Phillips has been named general counsel and executive vice president of compliance for ACES Quality Management, while Savannah Prout has been elevated to associate vice president of compliance.
These strategic promotions reflect ACES’ ongoing investment in compliance expertise as the financial services industry faces increasing regulatory complexity, the mortgage QC firm says in a release.
Phillips has more than two decades of experience in financial services and now serves as general counsel and executive vice president of compliance at ACES. Before joining ACES, she was counsel at Ballard Spahr, advising clients on complex federal and state mortgage lending laws. She was also executive vice president of legal and regulatory compliance at Mortgage Cadence. Before that, she held leadership roles for seven years at WR Starkey Mortgage, now Certainty Home Loans. Her extensive background uniquely positions her to lead ACES’ legal and regulatory strategy as the industry navigates evolving compliance landscapes.
Prout has played a key role in helping ACES clients navigate evolving regulatory requirements and internal compliance issues. As associate vice president of compliance, she will continue to enhance ACES’ ability to anticipate regulatory changes, provide timely updates to users, and expand the available compliance resources through the platform.
“With Amanda and Savannah at the helm of our compliance operations, ACES continues to lead with strength, precision and foresight,” says Trevor Gauthier, CEO for ACES. “These promotions recognize not only their deep expertise but also their vital contributions to our in-house compliance team, helping our clients navigate a complex and sometimes chaotic regulatory environment.”
