MBA Honors 2019 MBA Insights Tech All-Stars

DALLAS–The Mortgage Bankers Association and MBA Insights honored four industry innovators with its 2019 Tech All-Stars awards here at the MBA Technology Solutions Conference & Expo.

“Our Tech All-Stars are designing tools that disrupt the industry, but also make us smarter,” said MBA Chairman Chris George, Founder, President and CEO of CMG Financial, San Ramon, Calif. “They are the ones providing us both fast and safe mortgage business tools to advance our business and how we serve our customers. We call the Tech All-Stars the unsung heroes of the industry because much of what they do takes place behind the scenes–but we could not survive or move forward without them.
