(May 2, 2022) –HousingWire announced the winners of the 2022 Finance Leaders awards, honoring the top finance executives who are driving financial performance, expanding margins, improving liquidity and helping their businesses access the capital markets. Jeff Cassetta, EVP, Chief Capital Markets Officer for Ruoff Mortgage, was among those named.
“When we launched the Finance Leaders award in 2021, HousingWire sought to recognize the forward-thinking finance executives who contributed to their organizations’ financial growth and strategic missions despite the challenges of the pandemic,” said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. "We never anticipated the volatile mortgage rate environment, supply and demand imbalances and overall market challenges that housing executives have endured over the last twelve months. HousingWire Finance Leaders are truly masters at managing liquidity, executing M&A and strategic deals and developing impenetrable balance sheets to position their businesses for enduring success."
The Finance Leaders are selected by HousingWire’s Selection Committee based on their professional achievements within their organizations, contributions to the overall housing economy, client impact and personal success.
Cassetta has skillfully executed the incredible financial growth of Ruoff Mortgage for the better part of a decade. With 25+ years of expertise in Capital Markets, he is adept at increasing profitability while navigating Ruoff’s exponential presence in the mortgage industry.
“Jeff Cassetta’s insight and judgment of the market, at all differing periods of volatility and stability, coupled with his best execution practices, allows us to generate the more profitability while providing a seamless and pleasurable mortgage experience to the consumer,” said Mark Music, Ruoff Mortgage Owner, President and CEO.
“These formidable finance executives are made up of strategic leaders who are paving the way for the future of housing finance at a pivotal time in the housing market,” HousingWire Editor and Chief Sarah Wheeler said. “Not only are this year’s honorees balancing budgets and driving growth, they’re also teachers and mentors who are working across organizational boundaries, influencing team members and encouraging excellence throughout their organizations.”
