Promontory MortgagePath adds former top CFPB lawyer as chief compliance officer

Also adds two industry veterans to company’s mortgage tech unit

Promontory MortgagePath, a provider of mortgage technology and loan fulfillment services, announced Tuesday that it hired three new senior executives, including a former top lawyer at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The former CFPB lawyer is Colgate Selden, who will serve as chief compliance officer for Promontory MortgagePath.

During his time at the CFPB, Selden was a member of the Loan Originator Compensation, Ability-to-Repay, TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure, Home Equity Line of Credit, and Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity Act rulemaking teams.

Selden also served as the Office of Regulations lead for TILA mortgage regulatory inquiries from the industry, Congress, and consumer groups.

Before joining the CFPB, Selden was an attorney with the Department of the Treasury, where he was a member of the CFPB implementation team that worked on developing the CFPB’s early policies and TRID disclosure prototypes.

At Promontory, Selden will lead the company’s compliance efforts and report directly to CEO Bruce Witherell, who was a 2017 HousingWire Magazine Vanguard Award winner as one of the top leaders in the housing business.

Also joining the company are Scott Doughty and Craig Wildrick.

Their expertise will accelerate and enhance the solutions that we bring to market.”
