Robert D. Broeksmit, CMB, has been selected president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), replacing David H. Stevens, CMB, who announced last October that he would retire in September 2018.
Broeksmit has more than 33 years of mortgage industry experience. He joins the MBA from Treliant Risk Advisors, a financial services consultancy where he has been serving as president and chief operating officer.
Prior to joining Treliant in 2011, Broeksmit held a collection of senior leadership positions in mortgage banking, including as president of B.F. Saul Mortgage Company and executive vice president of Chevy Chase Bank. He also served as a vice president at Prudential Home Mortgage.
“We are thrilled to have Bob Broeksmit as the next leader of MBA,” says David Motley, CMB, chairman of the MBA, in a statement. “[The] MBA has never been stronger and we have full confidence that Bob is the right person to take MBA to even greater heights. He brings with him decades of industry knowledge and leadership experience at a time when our industry is facing great change and disruption.”
Broeksmit has also been active in financial services trade associations, previously serving on the MBA’s board of directors and as chairman of MBA’s residential board of governors. He also served as chairman of the American Bankers Association’s mortgage markets committee.
