FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., March 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, John Bianchi EVP, National Production Manager Distributed Retail, announced that Alec Hanson has been named to loanDepot's leadership team as SVP, Divisional Manager of its new Pacific Southwest Division. In his new role, Alec will oversee the production and growth of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Hawaii, and Southern Nevada while continuing to lead parts of Southern California as well. Prior to this new role, Alec served as VP, Regional Production for loanDepot in Southern California and has been recognized over the years as a Top 1% loan originator, team builder, and industry thought leader.

The mortgage and real estate industries are changing before our eyes, and loanDepot is leading the charge in transforming consumer expectations as it relates to their lending needs. Our CEO Anthony Hsieh's vision when he established the company was to be the catalyst for change and I'm thrilled to contribute whatever and however I can to make that happen."

Hanson earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and together with his wife, Erica, are the proud parents of two children and two bulldogs. In his spare time, Hanson is a fierce competitor, an avid CrossFitter and a self-described nerd.
