The current Chief Revenue Officer will be appointed President effective January 1, 2021. Mancuso has over 30 years of Mortgage Industry experience as a top executive, producer and sales manager to name several of the many roles he's captained.

He will be overseeing many aspects of the company including Capital Markets, Pooling, Securitization and Fulfillment, Finance, Human Resources, Compliance, Analytics and Marketing.

In Mancuso's own words, "When I look back at how far we've come since the day I walked through the doors in 2013, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment in what we've done and in my small contribution therein. The best part of that however, is what lies ahead. We have so many amazing things planned for our Primers, our brokers, and most importantly our borrowers, that I can hardly contain my enthusiasm. The strength we showed when the pandemic hit and how we were one of the few that was prepared and further, rose to that new challenge, has given us the perspective and might to become a trailblazer in the industry. I feel blessed to have spent three decades in this great industry, yet be in a position where I've never been more excited and optimistic about what lies ahead is truly remarkable. This new role firmly puts me in a position to help harness the massive amounts of talent we have at EPM as we make those plans a reality."

His dedication, determination and results driven nature has earned him this promotion that we know will only elevate the organization.
