ARMCO Selects Phil McCall to be New COO

ACES Risk Management (ARMCO) has hired mortgage quality control expert Phil McCall as its new COO. ARMCO provides Web-based audit technology as well as data and analytics to mortgage lenders, servicers, investors, and outsourcing professionals.

“As COO, my goals are to guide ARMCO through this next phase of growth and to help expand the services designed to position mortgage quality control professionals for proactive problem resolution,” McCall said.

With more than 20 years’ experience, McCall has knowledge in quality control, loan origination and underwriting, mortgage fraud, loss and litigation, and real estate-based transactions. He will be responsible for leading the company toward maximizing ‘big data’ benefits in ACES Web Audit Technology.

“Big data is going to be one of the key themes in 2015 from a mortgage quality control and regulatory compliance perspective,” said Avi Naider, chairman and CEO for ARMCO. “Phil McCall’s extensive background in QC and underwriting is an asset to ARMCO and will aid us in continuing to refine our ACES quality control software and compliance technology so that our customers can leverage big data to its maximum benefit.”

McCall was the COO for forensic loan auditing and loan data verification provider IMARC before joining ARMCO. He has also held three executive positions with private mortgage banking firms and served as a liaison between the firms and was also an active seller/servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

“I’ve been familiar with ARMCO and its executive leadership for a number of years,” McCall said. “With the heightened emphasis from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the GSEs regarding risk management and quality control, I have seen ARMCO make the necessary enhancements to the ACES software to meet the increased demands in the market.”
