The Orion Lending culture was established by working with the best in the business, including some of the most knowledgeable and influential women in the industry.  We are proud to celebrate Karen Thompson, Vice President – National Underwriting Manager, for her recent recognition as being named a Powerful Woman in Mortgage by Mortgage Banker Magazine.

‍

Nominations were open to women throughout the mortgage industry.  One of the criteria for this exclusive award is to demonstrate the out-of-this-world commitment to raising the bar for women in mortgage.  Award recipients, such as Karen, not only raise the bar, but they also empower others to surpass it.

“Karen is a key leader and integral part of Orion’s success, directly contributing to the significant company growth of 400%, while instilling the Orion core values of accountability and service with her teams and business partners alike.  She is an inspiring, open, and transparent leader demonstrating expertise, humility, and a willingness to evolve which is a necessity in the mortgage industry. Karen has been instrumental to our mission to serve our employees and broker partners”, said Richard Plummer, Orion Lending SVP of Operations.

The Orion Family applauds Karen’s recognition and proven success for being a powerhouse in service and leadership.  Her professional journey has not only changed Orion –it has impacted the entire mortgage industry. Congratulations Karen – we are privileged to work with you.
