Today we welcome Carrie Gusmus, the president and CEO of Aslan Home Lending. Carrie, who is a 2022 HousingWire Women of Influence Award winner, founded Aslan four years ago — just six months before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

In this conversation, she and HW Media CEO Clayton Collins explore the vision behind Aslan’s hybrid lending model. Carrie describes how she will build her team through recruiting loan originators and increasing production volume. They also chat about technology, marketing strategies and the importance of mentorship.
