CBC Mortgage Agency has brought on former Guaranteed Rate executive Mark Leslie (pictured) as its new director of capital markets.

Leslie has spent the past 20 years as a mortgage trader at several mortgage banking firms, including Homebanc Mortgage, Southstar Funding, Mortgage Investors Group, Caliber Home Loans, and Stearns Lending. He comes to CBC after a stint at Guaranteed Rate, where he most recently served as vice president of mortgage trading.

“Mark’s depth of experience as a mortgage trader at major lending institutions is a huge asset for us as we navigate the capital markets,” CBC Mortgage Agency president Miki Adams said in a statement. “His strong risk management, hedging and agency MBS background was exactly what we were seeking to help us implement the next phase of CBC’s growth strategy.”
