Zenta, a New York-based business process outsourcing and knowledge process outsourcing company, has established a 35,000 square-foot operations center in Florence, S.C., and will employ up to 250 people.
The move to Florence is a result of growing client outsourcing needs for residential mortgage services and further commitment by Zenta to expand its residential mortgage and financial services platform, the firm says.
Craig Evans, a 20-year veteran of the residential mortgage industry, has been hired as a vice president and will head the Florence operations. Most recently, Evans served as a senior executive with Bank of America's correspondent lending operation with approximately 200 employees. He has had previous experience with Washington Mutual, Fleet Mortgage and First National Bank of Chicago.
