“James’ expertise at developing solutions on both the origination and servicing sides of the mortgage business make him an invaluable addition to our executive team,” Default Resource CEO Glen Calderon said. “As the real estate market recovers we will be developing new solutions that fulfill the mortgage industry’s most critical needs, and James will be an integral part of this effort. We are extremely fortunate to have him on board.”
