John Gray has joined Paladin Advisory Services as a mortgage loan quality subject matter expert.
Gray previously worked as senior vice president of repurchases at Citi. He also served as senior vice president of investigations at JP Morgan/Chase and as senior vice president of fraud prevention at Bear Sterns/EMC Mortgage.
Gray has conducted highly confidential internal white-collar criminal investigations, including misappropriation of funds, and presented educational training programs for the Mortgage Bankers Association, the FBI and more.
In his new role, Gray will drive Paladin’s forensic loan file review programs and enhance its offerings in strategic guidance and training for mortgage lenders.
In a release, Ann Fulmer principal, Paladin Advisory Services, says Gray is “a legend in the industry, having been at the forefront of the fight to maintain data integrity for lenders, since his days as a charter member of Freddie Mac’s first investigative unit to his days resolving repurchase issues to the tune of $1.5 billion in recoveries for Citi Mortgage.”
Fulmer adds that Gray’s “experience assessing and mitigating risks posed by correspondents and vendors, coupled with his deep understanding of all aspects of the mortgage origination process, makes him an invaluable resource for mortgage lenders and for Paladin.”
