Lovier has a long history of leadership at Rocket Mortgage, having joined the company in 2003 and holding various positions, including vice president of Business Development, where she helped cultivate relationships with key business partners and optimized the mortgage platform.
Lovier’s leadership is rooted in accountability, transparent visibility and unwavering support. She has been successful in steering her teams toward personal growth and collective achievements. Under Lovier’s leadership, Rocket Companies is driving a remarkable transformation in the mortgage industry. Harnessing the power of AI, Lovier and her team are revolutionizing core steps toward homeownership, making it easier for clients to find, transact and finance their dream homes. Lovier and her team tailor solutions to each client’s personal preferences, creating a seamless and stress-free homeownership journey.
Recognizing that the mortgage process can be overwhelming, Lovier’s team is committed to automating tasks and, within the last year, announced a proprietary loan origination system called Rocket Logic. From the initial application to document uploads, AI streamlines the process, making it more efficient and less daunting. One of the standout features of Rocket Logic is its ability to automatically identify 70% of Rocket’s over 1.5 million documents each month, saving more than 5,000 hours of manual underwriting work. Additionally, it automatically processes 90% of the 4.3 million data points extracted from these documents, saving an additional 4,000 hours. This automation has reduced team member loan interactions by 25% year-over-year, leading to a 25% reduction in closing times for clients.
