Equity Prime Mortgage (EPM) has named Eric Skates as Chief People Officer and Shalanda Dixon as Chief of Staff.
Skates returns to EPM as Chief People Officer, after serving as EVP of Marketing for First Option Mortgage. Skates' return marks a shift in EPM's culture, as his responsibilities will place culture, people, and wellness together under one department.
Dixon moves into the role of Chief of Staff with more than seven years of experience at EPM. Prior to this role, she served in various production, compliance, administrative roles, affording herself the opportunity to understand the inner workings of EPM’s executive team and their strategic initiatives.
"If there are any two people that would lead our organization to get 1% better every day, it would be Eric Skates and Shalanda Dixon,” said EPM's CEO & President Eddy Perez, CMB. “They have both made a huge impact on the culture of EPM and their expertise has been instrumental in advancing the company's mission. I am confident in their leadership and excited to have them serve EPM in these roles."
Headquartered in Atlanta, EPM was founded at the height of the mortgage crisis in 2008, and has grown to one of the leading mortgage lenders in the U.S., licensed in all 50 states.
"I am both humbled and grateful for this opportunity to be part of an organization as impactful as EPM,” said Skates. “My goal is to create a happier environment leading to a cultural renaissance for the employees and associates.”
