Nicki Todd has mastered the art of harnessing her team’s expertise to drive innovative solutions to mortgage lenders’ most pressing needs. Fostering a collaborative work environment, Todd has empowered her teams to identify opportunities for innovation across the mortgage loan life cycle, and she has used those insights to spearhead new products and technology that minimize lender risk and streamline internal processes into an efficient, digital experience. Todd’s commitment to excellence and forward-looking perspective have established her as a respected change agent within First American Mortgage Solutions and across the industry — a leader who rapidly responds to an ever-evolving technical landscape and drives the industry forward.
Todd works tirelessly to ensure that the company’s lender clients can seamlessly access the data and analytics, document, valuation, title, settlement, risk mitigation and quality control features they need. Some innovators aim for dramatic headlines to validate their latest endeavor; Todd drives innovations that subtly and efficiently improve the mortgage lending experience for clients and third parties.
Leveraging her team of more than 450 people, Todd built a service-oriented architecture that prioritizes the features that mortgage lenders need most. Today, First American’s Mortgage Solutions team offers tools, such as a nationwide notary signing network, a technology platform that enables 24/7 funding without delays from banks or the Federal Reserve, dynamic document generation for mortgage loan assumption transactions, and dozens of other features that support the mortgage loan life cycle. Todd has charted a cost-effective path to implement these innovative features, consistently making the tough decisions to sunset programs that don’t provide the value mortgage lenders need.
