Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it has promoted
four members of its Small Balance Group (SBG), creating the first
all-women-led lending team at Walker & Dunlop. The team will be
responsible for setting and executing on the SBG strategic
direction in partnership with executive leadership to ensure
alignment throughout the organization.
Effective immediately, Alison Williams is named senior vice
president and Group Head of SBG and will oversee the SBG
Production, Underwriting, and Closing teams. Angelica Dichoco, who
received her Fannie Mae CU designation last year, will continue
leading the SBG Underwriting team as senior vice president and
Chief Underwriter. Stephanie Pratt will continue leading the SBG
Closing team in her new role as senior vice president of SBG
Closing. Melissa Jahnke will manage SBG operations in her new role
as Head of Operations.
"This marks the first time in our history that we have an
all-women leadership team within the company. It is an important
milestone that deserves recognition and celebration," said Steve
Theobald, executive vice president & chief operating officer,
Walker & Dunlop. "We are very focused on growing our small
balance lending platform and the talent of these leaders will
enable us to continue growing market share in the multifamily
segment at Walker & Dunlop.”
Over the past few years, the Small Balance Production,
Underwriting, and Closing teams have worked together to grow SBG
into the business it is today. Because of their hard work and
dedication, Walker & Dunlop was the #3 Fannie Mae Multifamily
Small Loan lender and the #5 Freddie Mac Optigo® Small Balance
Loans lender in 2022.
"This organizational change is significant for several reasons.
It helps drive greater alignment, cohesion, agility, and innovation
across the SBG team, which will better position us to achieve our
goals of driving annual volume to $5 billion by 2025," said Teun
van den Dries, executive vice president of GeoPhy. "It also
reinforces SBG as Walker & Dunlop’s 'innovation lab,'
partnering with WDTech and marketing to stress test efficiencies
that can benefit all business lines, ultimately transforming how we
originate, underwrite, and close loans across the company.”
Walker & Dunlop, a leader in the multifamily space, was
ranked the #1 Fannie Mae DUS® Lender and the #3 Freddie Mac Optigo®
Multifamily Lender overall in 2022 and has processed over $4.3
billion in small multifamily loans with both agencies since 2016.
