Former HUD Deputy Secretary Brian Montgomery has rejoined Radian Group’s board of directors, the company announced Tuesday.

Montgomery returns to Radian after his second tenure at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), most recently as deputy secretary. He served as FHA Commissioner from 2005 to 2009 and from 2018 to 2020. Montgomery first joined Radian’s board in 2012 before stepping down on his appointment as FHA Commissioner in 2017.

“We are delighted to welcome Brian back to Radian’s board of directors, and we congratulate him on completing his second tenure at HUD,” said Radian chairman Herb Wender. “Brian’s tremendous expertise and acumen were of great value at the HUD, and the same will be true as he returns to Radian’s board. We look forward to his contributions to Radian’s ongoing work of making affordable and sustainable homeownership possible for more Americans.”
