"Power isn't control at all - power is strength and giving strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give their strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own."
- Beth Revis

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
- Eleanor Roosevelt
The future looks bright! As with many leading ladies, helping others is at the forefront of her mind. Women are expert jugglers, and technology can give them extra arms.
Because Jaki lives in her vision, her view of the future is clear. She understands the need for now within the mortgage industry. Jaki is a 20-year veteran in the industry and this year she was awarded Most Powerful Woman in FinTech by The Progress in Lending Association. She has become known for finding incremental steps to deliver impactful change and driving operational results. She jokes that her brain sees things from 80,000 feet up and five years into the future because she never loses sight of the North Star goal.
She is fixated on building a better tomorrow, not on what’s happening in the trenches. She holds faith for things to turn out better than expected. No matter what the challenge or opportunity, Jaki approaches it with the same disruptive formula, discarding the way we have always done it to build something better for the future.
When Jaki talks about falling in love with the technology side of the mortgage business, her passion is palpable. She has a long-term vision of what could be developed and is on the journey to create it. Possibilities are what move her out of bed in the morning. She imagines a seamless, more simultaneous, highly automated scalable mortgage process, and she works daily to help create it with her team. As more women move from sales and operations into technology, data analytics, and marketing, they give the industry insight that wasn’t in the mix before.
Her hope is for strong women to continue to make their voices heard and be unapologetic about their ability to make this industry better with the unique knowledge they bring. We are in the era of fast information and having everything immediately at your fingertips; Jaki has a passion to deliver information the second it is needed via intelligent, dynamic, and seamless digital workflows, and this desire is at the root of her automation vision. She really does believe in the beauty of creating the future and infinite possibilities.
