Movement Mortgage poaches leaders from Fairway Independent Mortgage

Most recently, Middleton served as president of sales development and recruiting at Fairway Independent Mortgage and chief executive officer of Fairway’s internal coaching platform, Fairway Ignite. The 34-year mortgage veteran has also held leadership positions at Guild Mortgage and Liberty Financial Group.

“I’m thrilled to join Movement to help the organization grow. I’m here to do more and give more and to live a life of significance,” Middleton said.

McGovern also joined Movement from Fairway, where he served as executive vice president and chief operations officer for Fairway Ignite. He brings over three decades of sales and mortgage experience, including 16 years as a full-time coach.

“This industry has changed the total trajectory of my life,” McGovern said. “I feel called to give back and develop others, and I’m grateful to join a company whose mission and values align so closely with mine. I saw an opportunity at Movement to build on something special, and I’m excited to play a role in the growth that’s to come.”
