Flagstar Bank Names Lee M. Smith President of Mortgage
TROY, Mich., Sept.10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Flagstar Bank has named Lee M. Smith, a seven-year veteran of Flagstar, to lead its mortgage business. Smith joined Flagstar in 2013 as executive vice president and chief operating officer, where he was responsible for several key business units—including mortgage servicing—as well as strategy, balance sheet and cost optimization, and mergers and acquisitions. As COO, he played an integral role in the turnaround of Flagstar.
In his new role as president of Mortgage, he is responsible for the direction and oversight of all aspects of the business—mortgage sales, originations, servicing, fulfillment, and the overall strategic growth of the mortgage and servicing business units. Given this change, the COO role is being eliminated at Flagstar.
"Lee has worked side by side with me since day one of my job as CEO," said Alessandro DiNello, president and CEO of Flagstar. "No one has been more instrumental than Lee in building the diversified business model that has brought us so much success. We're now at an inflection point as a company where we can direct his skills to running one of our major businesses—a business he helped build and knows top to bottom. We look for more good things to come for Flagstar's mortgage operation with Lee at the helm."
