Gateless, a AI technology solutions company for the mortgage industry, has hired Joe Langner as its first president to drive the development and adoption of its technology. The company’s suite of AI mortgage technology is designed to accelerate the loan origination process, which can save lenders more than 10 days from application to full approval.
“Joe’s impressive reputation for building high-performing tech companies makes him a perfect fit for our growing team,” states Gateless Chairman Victor Ciardelli. “With his leadership, we’re confident Gateless will become the go-to technology solutions provider for the nation’s top mortgage lenders looking to improve the overall borrower experience.”
Langner, a veteran business leader whose background includes strategic planning, operational excellence and profitable growth, will ramp up revenue-increasing efforts at Gateless as mortgage companies nationwide search for end-to-end solutions and intelligent automation to improve their bottom line.
Langner has more than 30 years of executive experience driving growth at marquee mortgage technology and software companies. A former COO and chief sales officer at Ellie Mae, Langner was a member of the senior leadership team that substantially grew its market share leading up to the firm’s initial public offering in 2011. Previously, Langner has served as CEO at ReverseVision, CEO at Blue Sage, president at PCLender, executive vice president at Sage, and senior vice president at Dun & Bradstreet.
“If you look at how much the loan process has changed over the past few decades, decision automation, especially in underwriting, is a key area where improvement is needed to drive efficiencies,” comments Langner. “I’m thrilled to join the Gateless leadership team during a time when every major lender is thinking about how to streamline cost through AI products that focus on delivering greater accuracy, faster turnaround times and an improved customer experience.”
