Nair was quick to shoot down the notion that increasing automation would eventually take over human jobs. “A lot of people think they are going to lose their jobs to automation,” he said. “I don’t think so. It’s just going to make them that much smarter. If I’m a loan officer who closes three loans in a week, I’ll probably be able to close seven in a week. That’s what it does. It’s not going to take anything from them. It will make them more efficient and customer-savvy and give the customer the experience they like. That’s what it will do.”

Nair formerly had a number of important leadership roles across the industry, including at loanDepot, Bank of America, Xome/Mr. Cooper, CountryWide, Amazon and others. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering in computer science engineering from the University of Madras in India, and a Master of Science in systems & information from Birla Institute of Tech & Science in Pilani, India. He later graduated from the prestigious Executive Management Program at Harvard Business School and serves on the Advisory Board for the Harvard Business Review.

“It’s a privilege to join the AmeriSave team,” he said. “One of the many things I look for in a company is a strong culture – a healthy blend of diversity, inclusion, and growth. AmeriSave’s culture is unmatched in the industry, and I was able to quickly pick up on that in my conversations with other executives and employees. I look forward to making a positive impact and difference through fostering individual team members’ growth alongside the fast-paced growth of the organization with a digital-first leader that is consistently putting the customer first.”

His penchant for strong corporate cultures has propelled Nair to mentor more than 30 of the country’s top CIOs working today, company officials said. “Nair plans to grow AmeriSave’s digital business unit by investing in several professionals who are passionate about enhancing a consumer’s journey through AmeriSave’s proprietary AI platform, one that’s making the traditional loan process obsolete,” company officials added.
