The new role will also lead the company's new integration and business transformation consulting services.

"Gateless is focused on using AI technology to automate the underwriting of a loan to create a seamless, intuitive, real-time experience for the customer," said Chairman Victor Ciardelli. "Adding Rick to the executive team does exactly that. His considerable leadership skills and technical expertise will ensure that we achieve our goal."

Lang has successfully driven large-scale business transformation efforts and identified expense- reduction opportunities that have yielded millions of dollars in increased revenue and superior customer experiences for his clients.

While much of Lang's recent career has focused on enabling business technology transformation and helping mortgage lenders implement and drive change, he has also held myriad executive management roles spanning sales, customer service, operations and project management.
