As Senior Vice President at ARIVE, she successfully launched a revolutionary portal that offered an all-encompassing technology solution for wholesale brokers.

Katie does a fantastic job leading the AIME team and community, and I look forward to her continued support to bring brokers together and grow the channel, ”said Mat Ishbia, President and CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage.

With the current refinancing boom and the increasing number of home purchases, wholesale mortgage professionals need dedicated support more than ever, dedicated to conveying sustainability in the current and future markets to better serve home buyers.

Under Sweeney’s leadership, she has already positioned AIME as an advocate for growth and representation in the mortgage industry by introducing Ignite Mortgage Career Training and Spark Small Business Grant Programs at the third annual Fuse National Conference last September.

Since 2018, AIME has created a space dedicated to helping and advancing brokers by bringing together a community that previously did not have a collective voice dedicated solely to them in the mortgage industry. AIME will continue its efforts to nurture a supportive community that informs and empowers a nationwide network of mortgage professionals. AIME President Marc Summers stated, “Working closely with Katie and our valued credit and seller partners, we will continue to be a driving force in the Brokers Are Better philosophy, ensuring the longevity of the channel and strengthening the independent originator.”
