For the second time this year, DIMONT reinforced its leadership team with a former executive from van Wagenen.

This week, the Dallas-based provider of insurance claims adjusting and collateral loss mitigation services to the residential mortgage and auto lending industries announced Nancy Mellon is the company’s new senior director of client development.

In this role, the company indicated Mellon will develop new strategies, tactics and plans for client growth, oversee client management and reporting; and support strategic and key accounts within DIMONT’s portfolio of clients in the auto finance industry.

Mellon brings more than 30 years of proven strategic and client development sales experience in the collateral protection and repo claims industry to DIMONT. Most recently, she served as senior vice president of sales and relationship development for van Wagenen, a financial services firm that specializes in custom auto and mortgage claims solutions.

“Nancy comes to us with an established background and proven experience in the auto and mortgage insurance claims industries as well as an exceptional understanding of the collateral protection products and related services that support auto lenders,” DIMONT chief executive officer Denis Brosnan said in a news release.

“We look forward to bringing her strategic and client development knowledge to the forefront for our clients, and we are excited to welcome her to DIMONT,” Brosnan added.

Back in June, DIMONT appointed Jeffery Anderson, another former van Wagenen executive, to be senior vice president of auto services in a strategic move to continue the growth of its auto division.
