PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 17, 2024 – Agile, a groundbreaking fintech bringing mortgage lenders and broker-dealers onto a single electronic platform, is excited to announce that Greg Vacura, President of Agile Trading Technologies, was named to National Mortgage Professional Magazine’s Industry Titans list for 2024. NMP recognized key players who have dedicated their expertise and years of experience to the mortgage business, and represent the industry with professionalism and pride.
“I feel deeply honored to be selected as the recipient of the Industry Titan award,” conveyed Mr. Vacura. “My journey to this point has been marked by hard work and the invaluable support of those in my past who have contributed to my success. I firmly believe that success is a collective journey, and as President of Agile Trading Technologies, I aspire to uphold this philosophy by making the MBS market better for all participants.”
Mr. Vacura prides himself on prioritizing and developing his teams, fostering trust, loyalty, and collaboration. In his new role as Agile’s President, he is working to fulfill Agile’s mission to create a better mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market by increasing liquidity and automation in TBAs, MBS pools, and AOTs. Agile replaces legacy phone and email processes with an electronic platform designed to make the mortgage asset class operate more efficiently and help market participants thrive.
Ask his advice for those struggling in this market, and Greg says, “The great times don’t last forever (even though we did have a very long run of low rates), and the tough times will ease. In the middle of all of that, continue to innovate, serve your internal and external customers well, and invest in growth for yourself and, if applicable, growth for your organization.”
Mr. Vacura has been a proven pioneer throughout his career, changing the mortgage industry through groundbreaking innovations like the PerformanceWorks seller grading program, bid tape AOT loan sale deliveries, and a patented AI machine-learning loan-level bid automation system. He’s now been tasked with applying that deep industry expertise toward achieving Agile’s mission.
