This impressive group of 40 finance executives navigated their companies through the uncertain early days of the global pandemic through some of the most impressive growth many companies had ever seen.   Our winners include: Julie Booth, CFO and Treasurer at Rocket Companies, whose team successfully launched one of the largest IPOs in the last decade Quinn Brown, CFO at Axia Home Loans, who was instrumental in taking AXIA to a 100% ESOP Timothy Forrester, EVP and CFO at United Wholesale Mortgage, who played a critical role in UWM going public via a SPAC deal Thanh Roettele, Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, who led the business as it funded over $275 billion from approximately 860,000 mortgages. Charlotte Simonelli, EVP, CFO and Treasurer at Realogy, who steered the company to its biggest third quarter on record and captured incremental transaction economics from its title business and mortgage joint venture Find out who else made the list here.   On another front, one article that is generating considerable interest today is: When will the Fed raise rates? It's a perennial question, but considering the economy is still trying to recover from a global pandemic, it's extra challenging to read the tea leaves this year.   Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami reveals the very specific metric he thinks the Fed is looking at right now, and what Fed watchers should be paying attention to if they want to understand its actions. Find out what that metric is here.   Until tomorrow —   Sarah Wheeler HousingWire Editor in Chief
