Introducing the 2022 Finance Leaders!


Looking at the housing industry from a bird’s eye view in 2021, it’s easy to see the fast-paced housing market and the record-setting surge in volume. However, in the midst of that massive volume, companies were working furiously to balance demand and resources — balancing and rebalancing the books. Companies announced they were going public, acquiring companies, hiring hundreds of people to accommodate the demand, and so much more. And who were the people leading a lot of these conversations? HousingWire’s Housing Finance Leaders.

HousingWire is excited to recognize this year’s class of honorees. Entering its second year, this year’s class spotlights the top finance executives who are driving financial performance and helping their businesses access the capital markets.
