Sue Woodard — CEO
Along with her signature passion for people, Sue Woodard brings over thirty five years of financial services and mortgage industry experience, strategic vision and leadership to her role as Senior Advisor / Consultant with the STRATMOR Group, and Mortgage Industry / FinTech Evangelist At Large! Sue started her career at the ground level in financial services, became a top producing originator, then leveraged her knowledge to become a highly acclaimed industry speaker, subject matter expert and technology executive. Having held many executive and leadership positions throughout her career, Sue’s consulting specialties are in go-to-market strategy, customer journey, end user engagement, content / marketing strategy, and developing personal brand and presence via speaking, media and social media. In addition to having hosted a successful financial radio program and making guest appearances on CNBC, Sue has been awarded numerous industry honors, including the NMP Most Powerful Women in Mortgage Banking, the MPA HOT 100 list, the Housing Wire Vanguard Award, and the NMP Most Innovative Award. She also serves on the board of HOPE4Youth, a non-profit working to end youth homelessness, and formerly served on the board of Axis Lending Academy, a non-profit created to lift individuals who have not been given a traditional career path and create employment opportunities for them within the mortgage industry. As a bit of a thrill seeker, she has sky-dived over Vegas, fire walked on hot coals, Harleyed down Route 66, run a Ragnar through the desert and cage dived with great white sharks – but claims nothing has been more exciting than becoming "Gigi" to a three-pack of grandbabies.
