Being recognized among such visionary leaders is truly an honor,” Leslie reflected. “This achievement is a testament to the incredible team and network with whom I’ve been fortunate to collaborate throughout my career. My deepest gratitude goes to the colleagues, clients, and friends who have continually challenged and inspired me to grow.”
The Powerful Women of Mortgage Banking honors individuals making significant impacts in areas traditionally underrepresented by women, such as technology, finance, and executive leadership.

Looking ahead, Leslie envisions an industry shaped by rapid technological innovation and evolving market challenges. “The digitization spurred by the pandemic is just the beginning. Companies across the mortgage value chain will need to become ‘fintechs’ to survive. At the same time, affordability pressures and climate-related challenges will demand holistic solutions,” she said.
