SELENE KELLAM
Chief Operations Officer
Selene Kellam joined Thrive in October of 2008, and for several years, successfully
managed the technical training of our Loan Officers and Processors. Recognizing Selene’s
intense passion for work, her innate ability to analyze and resolve issues, plus her strong
desire to improve our systems, Roy named her Operations Manager in January of 2014.
One of Selene’s biggest successes has been helping to develop, implement, oversee and
streamline our Q&E Initiative, which has greatly impacted & improved every aspect of the
loan transaction process! Her BBA degree and wealth of experience from her internship
with Walt Disney World has successfully contributed to Selene’s current role as Executive
Vice President of Operations. It’s no wonder Selene’s motto is: “Work smarter, not harder.”
MATT WILSON
Director of IT
It’s partially human and partially technology when we talk about Matt Wilson and the
employees in our IT department. We were able to persuade Matt to join us after spending
12 years working with IT systems of Austin Community College. It may surprise you to
know that the mortgage industry is woefully unprepared for computer hackers and the
theft of borrower information. Matt and his team have worked diligently to harden our
systems to thwart such cyber-attacks. Matt is always raising the bar to keep Thrive in
an above-average stance regarding our competition. We have disaster recovery plans in
place and backup systems to avoid downtime.
LINDA PREECE
Director of Compliance
Our Vice President of Compliance Linda Preece, joined the Thrive family in June of 2010
and has over 30 years of experience in the mortgage industry. She has held every job role
there is including time spent as an underwriting manager as well as a loan originator. Linda
has a broad understanding of all aspects of the business which serves our organization
with practical solutions to the complicated maze of regulations which threaten the timely
closing of loans. Making sense of industry regulations is a strong advantage that Thrive
Mortgage possesses, thanks to Linda’s helpful oversight.
