Seasoned talent from industry-leading organizations joins to strengthen delegated operations, business development, and client relations

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Button Finance, Inc., a leading originator and investor specializing in second-lien and Non-QM mortgage offerings, has added three industry veterans to its sales and operations teams to support the rapid growth it has achieved over the past 12 months, including the expansion of its delegated and non-delegated correspondent programs, wholesale home equity platform, and first-lien Non-QM offerings.

The new hires join from Onslow Bay/Annaly, HomeLend, and Better Mortgage. All three will be at the upcoming Non-QM Conference in Dana Point, June 15–16, where Button Finance CEO Jason Harris will be speaking on Monday, June 15.

Jenine Fitter, Vice President, Client Relations, brings deep experience across mortgage finance, whole-loan sales, capital markets, credit/risk, securitization, and institutional business development. She began her career at Fitch Ratings, rating RMBS and other asset-backed securitizations, and later held senior roles at New Century Mortgage, Clayton, and Digital Risk.
