NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan.11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Castle Mortgage Corporation, a Delaware Corporation doing business as Excelerate Capital ("Excelerate" or the "Company") has announced the promotion of Thomas Yoon to Chief Executive Officer, effective December 3, 2021. Mr. Yoon will now serve as CEO and President as he leads the Company to its next growth level.

Mike Thompson, who will continue as Board Chairman of the Company, stated that "Thomas' appointment to CEO is a critical step in the execution of Excelerate's strategic plan to drive $5 billion in origination volume during 2022 and take its well-earned position as a national leader in NonQM lending. Thomas has a clear vision for the future and a strong strategic perspective. He also has an innate ability to foster a culture of collaboration and build enduring partnerships with clients and colleagues alike, earning their trust and loyalty".

Outlining his vision for the Company, Mr. Yoon underscored plans to evolve Excelerate from a highly successful regional lender to a top-of-mind NonQM mortgage bank on the national stage, lending in 47 states.

Thomas has been the prime mover in establishing the Company as an origination leader in the Non-QM space. He has a strong background in strategic planning, sales management, credit administration, and operational processes.
