Sprout Mortgage elevates two to senior sales positions

Two company veterans in Sprout Mortgage’s sales team are moving up the ranks.

The non-QM originator has announced the promotion of Dean Ayres (pictured top) to western regional vice president, with Scott Wood (pictured below) taking over Ayres’ previous position of western regional manager. Wood will report to Ayres, who in turn reports to Paul Howarth, senior vice president of TPO sales for the West.

With this promotion, Ayres will focus on recruiting, mentoring, and growing Sprout’s TPO sales teams in the West. He has been with the company for five years and brings nearly two decades of mortgage lending and leadership experience, including time spent at REMN Wholesale, Sunburst Funding, and Impac Mortgage.
