Alex Sirpis has joined FirstClose, a provider of data and workflow solutions for mortgage and home equity lenders, as vice president of sales.
Sirpis has a long record of driving revenue growth and improving sales performance at companies undergoing rapid expansion. At nCino, he directed national relationship-management strategies for financial institutions and supported the company’s continued growth following its acquisition of SimpleNexus. During his tenure at SimpleNexus, he worked with enterprise lenders to expand adoption of digital mortgage and home equity technology, helping teams streamline workflows and increase user engagement.
In his new role with FirstClose, Sirpis will lead the company’s sales organization, refine the go-to-market strategy and drive revenue growth. He will oversee national sales initiatives, mentor and develop a growing team of sales professionals and work closely with the executive leadership team to deepen relationships with lenders and strategic partners. His focus will include aligning sales execution with FirstClose’s product roadmap and client success goals to further accelerate adoption of the company’s technology platform.
“Alex has spent more than 25 years leading sales organizations at some of the most recognizable brands in mortgage technology,” says Tedd Smith, co-founder and CEO for FirstClose, in a release. “He has repeatedly grown production in competitive markets, led dispersed sales teams through major technology rollouts and restructuring efforts and elevated performance across organizations. We’re excited to bring his experience in enterprise relationship management and sales execution to FirstClose as we continue to scale.”
“I’ve spent my career helping lenders adopt technology that improves the borrower experience and strengthens operational performance,” Sirpis says. “FirstClose is solving real challenges in home equity and mortgage lending, and I’m excited to help scale a platform that gives lenders the speed and efficiency today’s market demands.”
