Today I'm thrilled to welcome Anthony Savala to Addy AI, the agentic AI platform built for mortgage lending, as our Executive Vice President of Sales.

I interviewed dozens of sales leaders for this role. It was a long search, and I spoke with some incredibly talented people. But nobody came close to the level of expertise and polish Anthony brought. The more time we spent together, the more I knew he was somebody I wanted to build with.

Anthony officially joined the team on September 7, 2026, the same day Ambhraj Yadav joined as our Head of Growth.

Deep mortgage DNA

What I love most about Anthony is his deep mortgage DNA. He has spent 20 years in this industry, and he started where the work starts: originating loans at Newport Lending and True Choice Lending in Southern California. He knows what it takes to sit across from a borrower and carry a file all the way to the closing table.

From there he spent nearly eight years at Mortgage Coach, now TrustEngine, growing from Enterprise Account Manager to National Account Director and helping lenders transform the point of sale conversation. He went on to lead business development at Reggora and Experience.com, then sales at TRUE and RETR. Every step kept him close to lenders and the technology they depend on.

A record lenders trust

Anthony has a habit of setting records wherever he goes:

• Signed the largest multi-year agreement in company history at TrustEngine, Reggora and Experience.com

• Grew Reggora's market share by 25% among the top 30 ranked US lenders

• Delivered the largest ARR increase in TRUE's history

• Reached 350%, 250% and 300% of quota at TrustEngine, Reggora and Experience.com

His commitment to this industry goes beyond the deal. As a FirstHome IQ Ambassador, Anthony helps first-time buyers, especially young professionals and underserved communities, build the financial literacy they need to own a home. That matters so much to me, because homeownership is the reason our industry exists.

From advisor to EVP

Anthony is not new to Addy. He has been a strategic advisor to the company since April 2026, helping shape how we show up for lenders. Now he leads enterprise sales and go-to-market: our revenue strategy, strategic lender relationships and partnerships, and a scalable, high-performance revenue engine that ties AI to measurable outcomes across the mortgage lifecycle.

"I have spent my career on the lender side of the table, and I know how rare it is to find technology built by people who understand the loan file. Addy is that company. Lenders don't need another point solution. They need AI agents that work across the whole borrower journey, inside the systems they already run. That is what we are building, and I can't wait to put it in front of every lender in the country."

What this means for mortgage lenders

Addy AI is a mortgage AI company with mortgage DNA, and we are bringing in experts who make that DNA stronger. Our AI agents for mortgage lending work directly inside Encompass, MeridianLink and LendingPad to handle document processing, guideline checks, pre-underwriting and conditions, so loan teams can move files from application to closing up to 90% faster on a SOC 2 compliant platform.

With Anthony leading sales, lenders get a partner who speaks their language from the very first conversation, through a no-cost three-week pilot on their own live loans, all the way to enterprise rollout.

Building something big

We are not building a tool for one fragmented use case. We are building AI for the entire borrower journey, and our ambition is clear: make Addy the coolest AI company in mortgage and grow it into a unicorn. Anthony is exactly the kind of leader who gets us there.

Welcome to the team, Anthony!
