BOULDER, Colo., April 1, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that President and General Manager Sofia Rossato has been named as a board advisor to the newly formed board of Broker Action Coalition (BAC), a nonprofit organization created in 2022 to advocate for legislative reform and educational advancement within the independent mortgage broker community.

The BAC advocates for legislative change and education initiatives for independent mortgage brokers and homebuyers across the country. The board’s 10 voting members are drawn from a diverse pool of industry experts and includes four lenders, four brokers and BAC’s executive leadership. Rossato joins Brian Vieaux, president and COO of FinLocker and Sam Parker, owner of My Credit Guy, as a vendor advisor to the board.
“Unlike many industry groups, BAC takes a broad view of what lending professionals need to accomplish in order to be successful, and how those activities, in turn, can benefit consumers. That aligns with Floify’s view of advancing technology in directions that improve the customer experience and help get more people into homes, especially those in underserved communities,” said Rossato. “As a vendor advisor, my role on this board will be to figure out how technology should evolve to help brokers and lenders better serve homebuyers.”
Rossato brings more than 20 years of experience growing companies in start-up and large corporate environments to the role. She was tapped to lead Floify in Spring 2022 after its acquisition by Porch Group. Since then, she has overseen a rapid rollout of new product features to help lenders and broker customers optimize operations, including the introduction of Floify Broker Edition. She was recently recognized as a National Mortgage Professional (NMP) 2024 Woman of Inspiration. Prior to Floify, Rossato was managing director and COO for the billion-dollar information division of $17B fintech, IHS Markit and was CEO of SnapEngage, an omni-channel messaging platform and early adopter of AI. She is a frequent speaker at industry conferences using technology to broaden access to homeownership.
“Sofia brings a deep understanding of the fintech market and how to optimize technology to help lenders and brokers better serve the needs of their borrowers from the time they fill out the loan application to the loan’s close,” said BAC Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Katie Sweeney. “Combined with BAC’s governance structure, the board and its advisors reflect our commitment to engaging on policy issues that will protect and enhance opportunities for the independent brokerage community and consumers alike.”
