Our 2021 Rising Stars

Today our June magazine went live and features our annual Rising Stars award winners shaking up the industry!

Was this newsletter forwarded to you? Sign up here. Good afternoon —   Today our June magazine went live, which features our annual Rising Stars award winners! I love this award program because we get to honor some pretty incredible leaders and up-and-coming movers and shakers in our industry.    The program is open to anyone 40 years-old or under and many of the winners are in their 30s. But some of the winners have already made a big impact in their 20s, including: Dilly Sanborn-Marsh, 25, product manager at Blend. During the pandemic, Dilly worked to develop Blend's "volume control" features for lenders, which helped them streamline leads that were most likely to be closed based on borrower intent and context, and reduced processing workload by eliminating unnecessary tasks. Jacob Bengtzen, 27, director, strategic programs and chief of staff at Finicity. In his four years at Finicity, Bengtzen grew from a sales representative to the CEO's chief of staff. Madisyn Rhone, 25, manager, government and industry relations at Enact Mortgage Insurance. Rhone realized a gap in minority spaces from a legislative perspective and pioneered new relationships with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and the National Association of Real Estate Brokers.

Matt Jones, 28, senior counsel to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. Jones has played a key role in drafting and negotiating several pieces of legislation that became law, including the CARES Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. (Jones was also our cover subject, see here.)
