Mr. Cooper has finally filled its vacant chief financial officer post, promoting Jaime Gow, most recently the deputy CFO, into the position.
Gow assumes the position from Chris Marshall, who retained CFO duties following his June 2021 promotion to president. Marshall is also Mr. Cooper's vice chairman.
Gow joined Mr. Cooper in September 2019 as the senior vice president for accounting, financial planning and analysis. Prior to that, he held the role of senior vice president, banking financial executive at First Horizon Bank, a position he moved into after its December 2017 acquisition of Capital Bank, where he was chief accounting officer.
Besides the appointment of Gow, Mr. Cooper promoted Ethan Elzen to executive vice president, business development and operational finance. Previously, he led the originations finance team and served as CFO at the company’s Xome subsidiary, where he played a key role in the sale of the title, appraisal and field services businesses.
Elzen joined Xome in May 2020 after serving for six years as president of Colorado Federal Savings Bank.
Both Gow and Elzen report to Marshall in their new roles.
"The financial knowledge and expertise they both bring to our team will play an important role as we continue to grow our business and become a $1 trillion servicer," Jay Bray, Mr. Cooper's chairman and CEO, said in a press release.
The promotions are just the latest executive moves the company has made since promoting Marshall to president.
Last September Angela Greenfeather was named executive vice president and chief human resources officer, while Kelly Ann Doherty was promoted to chief administrative officer. Prior to that, Shawn Stone returned to Mr. Cooper as EVP and chief revenue officer, while Jay Jones was promoted to EVP of the servicing business.
