WCS Lending’s co-founder and co-CEO Eric Wallberg said the bank is very pleased to have someone of Lisa’s caliber and past successes join WCS Lending during this time of unprecedented growth and opportunity.

"With nearly 30 years of operational leadership and financial services experience in banking and mortgage lending, Lisa brings WCS the expertise that has helped both public and private companies manage through periods of significant growth and change. We are excited to have her onboard," Wallberg said.

Taylor said, "The continuing dislocation in the mortgage market and wavering commitment to the mortgage space by the largest depository institutions has created a significant opportunity for well positioned mortgage bankers like WCS to capitalize on."

From 2008 to 2011, Taylor worked for Deutsche Bank Ag in London as the regional head in Western Europe of the RMBS Origination and Trading platform.

She has acted as chief operating officer for MortgageIT, chief executive officer at Sawgrass Partners, a management consulting firm, and executive vice president for Mortgage.com.

WCS Lending trades in Florida, New York, Michigan, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio and Hawaii and, generates over $2bn in loans per annum.
