Silk Adds Deep Industry Experience With Robbins

WARWICK, R.I., Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today The Silk Companies announced it has hired Monte Robbins as its Chief Strategy Officer. The strategic move comes amid significant growth in 2018 for Silk as it continues to innovate and automate title, search, and settlement services nationwide.  

"I am thankful that we work with the top lenders across the nation. In meetings with our clients, I hear the pain points that aren't being solved. It became abundantly clear to me Silk needed to focus on two things: bring in seasoned talent from the mortgage origination side and have an obsessive focus on our process inside the larger mortgage ecosystem," said Marc Trachtenberg, CEO of The Silk Companies. 

"Monte brings a wealth of executive experience to Silk. He started CapWest Mortgage 17 years ago that grew tremendously inside a bank prior to making the decision to sell the division. He's lived that life every day in the trenches which gives him such a unique perspective on the challenges we are solving for buyers, lenders, and agents," continued Trachtenberg.

Robbins will be responsible for working with the Silk executive team to automate processes, reduce costs, and remove hassle from the traditional closing experience. Additionally, he'll be traveling the nation to visit with senior industry executives, discuss their needs, and provide oversight to the development engineers who will implement the feedback.   

"Mortgage lending today is complicated on multiple fronts," said Robbins. "I am excited to work on the challenges from the other side of the coin. Marc and the team at Silk have been great partners to CapWest and myself for years, so I'm fortunate to know firsthand the value they already bring. I am driven to help take Silk to the next level that our industry needs."
