Whelan is spearheading the company’s effort to unify its two products to create an interconnected ecosystem of lenders, settlement, signing services and signing agents. Whelan helped develop Snapdocs’ digital closing platform, providing lenders with a practical path for moving to hybrid closings and eClosings. By leveraging advanced automation and AI, Whelan also enables lenders to offer digital closings without having to take on additional manual work. Whelan also thinks about what consumers would want in a closing experience, enabling borrowers to preview their loan documents and eSign prior to the in-person closing appointment. By empowering lenders to give their borrowers a digital closing experience, hour-long closings become as short as 10 minutes.
