Planet Home Lending, LLC, a national lender and servicer, has promoted Jodi Bailey to Senior Vice President, Total Rewards, and Terry Mitchell to Senior Vice President, Human Resources. Both promotions come as Planet Home Lending continues to expand its mortgage platform and attract top talent.
“This has been an exciting year for Planet Home Lending as we more than doubled total origination volume and nearly doubled the servicing portfolio,” said Ben Hughes, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer of Planet Home Lending. “Jodi and Terry have successful track records for attracting and engaging top talent. As we continue to expand, they will maintain our world-class HR division.”
Bailey will oversee the company’s Total Rewards and Payroll departments. She has nearly two decades of compensation and total rewards experience, obtained primarily in the mortgage industry.
