Ellis will be responsible for selling the company&#8217;s multi-channel LenderAssist&#8482; LOS platform to lenders, banks and credit unions. <\/p>\n<p> Ellis has more than 17 years of experience managing complex sales cycles targeting lending entities of all types and sizes. He has a proven, consistent track record of sales and account management success and a strong LOS technology background.<\/p>\n<p> Previously, Ellis was a regional sales manager at D+H where he sold the Avista and Mortgagebot LOS platforms. At D+H, he was consistently a top tier performer and was instrumental in helping capture additional market share. Before that, Ellis was a senior sales executive at LOS provider Dynatek from 1997 to 2006. He was a top performer during his nine year tenure at the company and number one in sales revenue for five years. Ellis is very familiar with end-to-end LOS technology, best-of-breed solutions, software-as-a-service (SaaS), lending operations, solution crafting and more. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We are ecstatic to have someone with Ken&#8217;s background and knowledge join the OpenClose sales team,&#8221; said JP Kelly, president of OpenClose. &#8220;His experience working with a variety of mortgage technologies and LOS platforms will undoubtedly contribute immensely to our uptick in deal flow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen a lot of LOS platforms in my day and most of what&#8217;s currently on the market is either antiquated or has deficiencies,&#8221; stated Ellis. &#8220;Once I took an in depth look at OpenClose&#8217;s LenderAssist&#8482; LOS, it&#8217;s what I believe to be the best, most complete and contemporary end-to-end platform on the market today. OpenClose&#8217;s entire system is browser-based, workflow-driven, fully compliant and extremely flexible. Pricing is managed for over 50 investors, the reporting component is very detailed, and the imaging and document management functionality is extremely robust. I am very excited to introduce OpenClose&#8217;s solution to the many lenders that are having challenges with their current LOSs.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Ellis holds a BA in Political Science from Grove College and a JD from the University of Toledo. He is an active participant in the Mortgage Banking Association. <\/p>\n<p> <strong>About OpenClose:<\/strong><br \/> Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida, OpenClose&#174; is a leading end-to-end, multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) provider that delivers its platform on a software-as-a-service basis.
