Mortgage Cadence, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise lending solutions (ELS) for the financial services industry, is pleased to announce the newest addition to its family; Gabe Minton, who joins Mortgage Cadence as chief strategy officer (CSO). Before joining Mortgage Cadence, Minton was an executive of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), as well as a pioneer in the establishment of technology standards for the mortgage industry through MISMO, which he helped to create and actively managed over the last seven years.

As CSO for Mortgage Cadence, Minton is responsible for the core architecture of the product, overall strategic marketing and licensing, and strategic initiatives. Together with the architecture team, Minton assists in further strengthening and expanding the foundation of the product. Also, in working closely with Mortgage Cadence Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Michael Detwiler, Minton utilizes his in-depth mortgage industry experience and leadership in creating the foundations for e-Mortgages, next generation security, and standardized data interchange and rules-based systems at the MBA to augment marketing programs and strengthen positioning of Mortgage Cadence technology initiatives.

"It is an honor to have Gabe join the Mortgage Cadence family," said Detwiler. "He is a true pioneer in this industry with a clear vision of the future of technology and the financial services industry as a whole. With our continual goal of being the last lending platform our clients will ever need, Gabe's appointment will help guide the Mortgage Cadence technology to the realization of not only the electronic mortgage but also the continued expansion of the lending types we will support."

In his position as the MBA's Vice President of Industry Technology, Minton was responsible for overseeing MBA's leadership role in the establishment of technology standards and best practices for the residential real estate finance industry through MISMO. Additionally, Minton worked in conjunction with, and provided support to the MBA standardization efforts in the commercial real estate finance industry, as well as served as a staff representative to MBA's Board of Directors Technology Steering Committee and its Residential Technology Committees. He also helped to maintain and promulgate a set of accreditation guidelines for standardized digital credentials, used to protect data and enable portable digital signatures. He previously served for the MBA on the Board of Directors of the Electronic Authentication Partnership, a U.S. Government cross-industry federated identity standards organization.

"I honestly couldn't think of a better fit for me than Mortgage Cadence," stated Minton. "It is a great privilege for me to join the company as their chief strategy officer. I am certain that with my experience at the MBA and MISMO combined with the excellent team of mortgage industry professionals at Mortgage Cadence that we will surely take this technology to the next level and beyond."

Prior to MBA, he was the vice president of standards and alliances with Ultraprise Corporation, a business-to-business technology firm, and has more than 15 years of experience working with and creating software systems, products, and standards, including work at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command.
