Experienced valuation executive to lead newly established Valuations Team and strengthen appraisal operations across the organization.
(Miami Beach, FL) – Foundation Mortgage Corporation today announced the appointment of Stephanie Holdsworth as Senior Vice President of Valuations, where she will lead the company’s newly established Valuations Team.
The creation of the dedicated team represents an important investment in Foundation Mortgage’s operational infrastructure as the company continues to grow. Under Holdsworth’s leadership, the Valuations Team will provide focused expertise and oversight across appraisal and valuation activities while working closely with internal departments and external appraisal partners.
“Stephanie brings tremendous experience, leadership, and industry knowledge to Foundation Mortgage,” said Marc Halpern, Chief Executive Officer of Foundation Mortgage Corporation. “As our business continues to grow, having dedicated valuation leadership will help us strengthen consistency, communication, and support throughout the appraisal process. We’re excited to have Stephanie leading this important new function.”
Holdsworth brings extensive experience in valuation operations, appraisal management, risk management, and organizational leadership. Her career includes senior leadership roles with JPMorgan Chase, where she served in multiple vice president positions across valuation operations, vendor management, servicing, and appraisal fulfillment.
She later served as Chief Operating Officer of Class Valuation and Chief Operating Officer of Nationwide Appraisal Network (NAN), following roles overseeing appraisal operations and client experience.
In her new position, Holdsworth will oversee Foundation Mortgage’s valuation operations, including appraisal assignments, valuation reviews, communication with appraisal partners, and the resolution of valuation-related questions or discrepancies.
The Valuations Team will operate within Foundation Mortgage’s Mortgage Operations organization, helping maintain close alignment between appraisal functions and the broader lending process.
“Valuations play a critical role in every mortgage transaction, and the quality of that process directly impacts our teams, our broker partners, and ultimately their borrowers,” Halpern said. “By building a dedicated team under Stephanie’s leadership, we are creating a stronger framework for managing valuations with the consistency, expertise, and responsiveness our partners expect from Foundation Mortgage.”
The new team will also support Foundation Mortgage’s continued expansion by establishing scalable processes and providing dedicated valuation expertise across the organization.
“This is another example of how we’re investing in the people and operational capabilities needed to support our growth,” Halpern added. “Stephanie’s experience makes her exceptionally well positioned to help us build a valuation operation that can support both where Foundation is today and where we are headed.”
