Anthony Hsieh, an entrepreneur and innovator in the mortgage industry, is the CEO, Chairman and Founder of loanDepot.com, LLC (loanDepot). He began loanDepot in 2010, intent on creating a national mortgage originator designed to satisfy the unique needs of borrowers following the 2007 financial crisis. With a focus on excellent service and competitive rates, Hsieh has led loanDepot to be one of the nation’s largest, privately-held, independent mortgage lenders, licensed in all 50 states and an approved seller and servicer for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae with a growing servicing portfolio.

Hsieh’s 25+ years of mortgage industry experience has led to a track record of innovation and accomplishment. In 2002, Hsieh founded Home Loan Center, Inc. which later merged with LendingTree, LLC. Post merger, Hsieh served as the President of LendingTree until 2007. LendingTree, LLC, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Interactive Corp., (NASDAQ-IACI). Additionally, Hsieh founded LoansDirect.com in 1994 and merged with E*TRADE Financial in 2001 to create E*TRADE Mortgage. LoansDirect.com distinguished itself as a technology leader and remained one of the most profitable and successful lenders of that time.

In less than four years, loanDepot grew from a startup company to more than 2,400 employees and currently is the third largest independent retailer in the country, serving all 50 states. The company has also been named a best place to work by both the Orange County Register and Orange County Business Journal.

Hsieh is also the owner, angler and team captain of Team Bad Company, the world’s most successful competitive big-game fishing crew.
