The future of work in mortgage isn’t coming - it’s already here. We’re entering a new era where intelligent automation compresses cycle time, eliminates rework, and elevates the role of humans from task executors to outcome owners. AI is reshaping every role, from origination to underwriting to servicing, creating the most significant shift in decades. But this shift isn’t just about technology—it’s also about people, process, and purpose. If you want to understand not just where AI is going, but where you fit in the future it’s creating, this roundtable is for you. MBA’s Mortgage Technology Vendor Working Group hosts special guests to lead this discussion: Corban Wells, VP of Technology Product Management, Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc., Jay Promisco, Senior Advisor, JazzX AI and Pankaj Chugh, Head – GTM, Partnerships and Success, JazzX AI.
