A new vice president of operations and contract underwriting has been appointed at zIngenuity, Inc.

The company recently named Scott Friedberg to the leadership role.

Friedberg has been in the mortgage industry for more than 20 years, and in joining zIngenuity, he will be responsible for the continued development of the company’s contract underwriting services, as well as the firm’s dispute and resolution services.

Additionally, Friedberg will work closely with zIngenuity’s senior personnel to ensure excellent performance across the company’s client base.

“Scott is an outstanding addition to our management team and complements the expansion of our contract underwriting footprint in the mortgage industry,” says Steve Mageras, senior vice president of zIngenuity.

Mageras went on to add that as one of the premiere mortgage defense and resolution platforms, “zIngenuity is uniquely positioned to leverage core competencies developed from mortgage insurance rescission and rep and warrant defense work across our growing contract underwriting services.”
