AAMC Hires Danya Sawyer as Chief Operating Officer of Alternative Lending Group

CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AAMC) announces that Danya Sawyer will join the Company as Chief Operating Officer of the Alternative Lending Group (“ALG”) on February 1.

“We expect that Danya will make an immediate positive impact,” Jason Kopcak, AAMC’s CEO, said. “She has deep and broad experience in real estate, mortgage, ABS, banking and broker dealer businesses. Her strategic approach to solution design will add value for our investors and clients, and her leadership style will complement our growing team of seasoned professionals.”

As COO, Sawyer will build and oversee operations across all product lines to support ALG’s growing market share. Sawyer will lead the Company in helping real estate investors and developers by providing a more modern, equitable, and helpful path to capital than traditional lenders.

Sawyer brings more than 20 years of successful strategic leadership within Operations, Capital Markets, Product Management, and Compliance across multiple origination channels. Sawyer most recently served as Senior Vice President, Client Solutions at Consolidated Analytics, overseeing originator assessments and enterprise-wide due diligence on behalf of institutional investors offering warehouse financing solutions, whole loan acquisitions, and securitization options within Agency, Non-Agency, Non-QM, and Business Purpose lending.

Sawyer built her career at Countrywide, initially operating in various pricing and operational roles before developing a de novo broker to banker channel. After growing that channel to a run rate of over $1 billion in monthly production, she was promoted to various senior management positions at Countrywide/Bank of America. In 2014, Sawyer was named one of the industry’s top mortgage professionals under the age of 35 by The M Report. Sawyer earned her degree in International Economics from UC Berkeley, where she was selected as an NCAA Academic All-American.

“I am excited to join Jason and the experienced team at ALG,” said Sawyer. “The potential to differentiate ALG as an institutional lender within the private lending space affords our Company incredible opportunity for growth amidst various market conditions.”
