Fay Financial has announced that Cari Gordon has joined the firm as Chief Audit Officer.
In her new role, Gordon will lead the strategy and operation of Fay Financial’s Internal Audit team, and oversee a comprehensive, integrated, risk-based audit plan. The plan and the team's continuous monitoring of results help to ensure Fay's business practices are rigorously scrutinized and appropriately adapted in today's rapidly changing environment.
"We were so fortunate to find someone with Cari's incredible experience in the mortgage industry, in addition to audit, to lead our Audit team,” said Howard Cohen, COO at Fay Financial. “She's a wonderful addition, and we look forward to working with her.”
Gordon comes to Fay Financial with more than 11 years of leadership experience in internal auditing, and nearly 30 years of experience in the mortgage and banking industry.

"I'm immensely excited about joining Fay,” added Gordon. “Everyone from my team up through the senior executive level has extensive experience within the mortgage industry, and I look forward to working with such a talented team with so much depth.”
