White Clarke Group recently bolstered its North American workforce.

The global provider of full lifecycle loan origination, servicing, collections and floorplan finance technology announced Heather Slyman has joined the firm as vice president of business development for North America.

Executives highlighted the addition of Slyman to the White Clarke Group global team is a direct testament to the focus and priority the company places on strong, long-term client partnerships.

Having earned a degree in computer information systems, Slyman spent her early career with Boeing as a programmer. Recruited by SouthStar to leverage her technical expertise and strength working with clients, she joined the wholesale mortgage lender, with responsibility to open and develop new territories and client relationships.

Following SouthStar, Slyman lead business development for CUSO, the Credit Union Service Organization, where she was responsible for restructuring the organization and the resulting revenue growth.

After successfully growing the business near five times over, she was recruited to join a loan origination software provider, specializing in retail point-of-sale, credit cards and student lending, to grow the business and enhance the out-of-box product offering.

“Heather’s success, serving both as a lender and as technology provider, makes her the perfect fit for our next phase of growth. Heather has the unique ability to pinpoint a client’s strategic needs and bring together the best solution,” said David Slider, group executive VP.

“Heather embodies the client-first culture that has differentiated White Clarke Group across the world, and we are excited to further dedicate that focus here in North America,” Slider went on to say.
