"Every year since 2002, Mortgage Banking magazine has been honoring the people building the pioneering solutions that are transforming our industry today," said Fratantoni. "They are designing state-of-the-art mortgage lending and servicing processes."
Birdsell was recognized along with indiviudals and teams from eight other organizations at the awards ceremony, which is in its 15th year. The MBA Tech All-Star awards celebrate leaders who have made significant contributions to mortgage technology.
"Tech All-Stars are often unsung heroes of the industry, because much of what they do takes place behind the scenes, but we couldn't survive without them," Fratantoni said.
"I am honored to stand among such an accomplished field of peers as a representive of our growing corner of the industry," said Birdsell, who was acknowledged for his role as one of the industry's most sought-after technology experts and a key influencer in the revival of reverse mortgage origination among smaller banks and independent lenders. "It's my driving motivation to provide technology solutions that help lenders make the most of the opportunities afforded by reverse lending."
Birdsell has been a prime contributor to some of the industry's most prolific software solutions over the course of his 25-year career. Most recently, Birdsell helped introduce ReverseVision's RV Exchange (RVX) reverse mortgage software. More reverse loans are originated monthly using RVX than all other systems combined.
"Jeff has a unique pedigree that lends valuable perspective to his work in the reverse mortgage field," said ReverseVision Marketing Director Kelly Kelleher, also present at the ceremony. "He's an expert in reverse mortgage technology, but he also holds a degree in business finance. He's not only a product developer but a respected industry speaker and educator. We can think of no one more worthy of this recognition."
