Meet our incredible 2015 Women of Influence

Announcing 40 leaders driving the housing economy

Today we're announcing HousingWire's 2015 Women of Influence — 40 leaders who range from servicers and lenders to tech innovators and heads of nonprofit organizations. It’s an impressive list.

This is the fifth year that HousingWire has recognized the women leading our industry, and this year’s winners confirmed how big our mortgage finance space really is. The nominations ranged from familiar faces to companies and people we had never heard of, but were glad to get to know.

The only downside to a program like this is the difficulty in choosing winners. The field grows more competitive every year, with more nominations from a much broader field. This is a cause for celebration in and of itself, but one that presents a real challenge for our editorial staff. Our solution was to increase the number of winners from 30 to 40; we simply had too many incredible candidates to do less.

We are proud to honor these impressive leaders:
