President

At ARC, Francois is responsible for overall business operations – including finance and accounting, human resources, sales, marketing and process management. Francois is also the business line manager for the credit division at ARC. This involves tracking credit sales volumes, exploring new business development opportunities and client retention strategies. The credit division is also a critical component in ARC's recent expansion to provide other settlement services to the mortgage lending community.

Francois also is responsible for developing our education line into becoming an added value to our clients. Clients can use our knowledge in providing classes to their borrowers, current clients or lending staff to close more loans.

Francois’ background included working for Bank of America and Washington Mutual in the Credit Risk side of the organizations. Francois was responsible for managing multiple management tiers, several hundred employees and budgets in excess of $30 million. Francois also spent time as part of the due diligence teams focused on acquisition analysis.

“Listen, communicate, and keep it simple” are some core beliefs Francois has when working with both internal procedures and dealing with ARC’s client base. One of the advantages of ARC’s size is that we can tailor our products to the needs of our diverse client base.

Francois is a current member of the Appraisal Institute, National Credit Reporting Association (NCRA) and the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). Francois is also on an advisory panel for a major credit technology provider.
