Liz Bryant Named to Lead Wells Fargo’s Retail Sales

Wells Fargo Home Lending announced that Liz Bryant will now lead the company’s retail sales organization reporting to Head of Mortgage Production, Michael DeVito. Bryant has 25 years’ experience in mortgage originations and operations, and has been with Wells Fargo since 2003 when she started as a regional sales manager from GMAC Mortgage. At the time she was responsible for retail loan production and operations in 17 western states, and most recently served as head of home lending retail fulfillment operations.

“Liz’s broad experience in this business and her energetic leadership style make her an excellent choice to lead the nation’s largest mortgage origination sales force into the future,” DeVito said.

With her new position as National Sales Manager, Bryant will be responsible for Wells Fargo Home Lending’s retail sales team, which originates residential mortgage loans in all 50 states while being powered by more than 7,900 home mortgage consultants. This group provides a full range of mortgage solutions, including relocation and employee mortgage programs for several Fortune 500 companies.

Before becoming the lead to the Home Lending Retail Services, Bryant was the head of retail fulfillment since May 2014 where she was responsible for the overall direction, strategy, performance and leadership for more than 8,100 team members. Previous to that, Bryant served 10 years as Wells Fargo Home Lending senior vice president/division sales manager where she was responsible for 2,700 home mortgage consultants in 16 western states.

“Changing customer expectations and technical innovation are creating exciting opportunities in the mortgage business, and we recognized that new sales leadership is required as we continue to evolve our culture and deliver for our customers in compelling new ways,” DeVito said.
