VeriFast is growing its leadership team.
Date – 20-Aug-2024
Verification-as-a-Service platform makes a strategic addition to its sales team and promotes experts in multifamily fraud and property management.
VeriFast, the AI-powered verification-as-a-service platform specializing in financial analysis and decision-making for resident screening, mortgage underwriting, and consumer lending, has announced several key executive changes to further its growth and enhance its role as a vital partner for landlords aiming to reduce delinquency and boost occupancy.
Bob Hansen, a seasoned property manager and proptech expert, is joining VeriFast as Vice President of Sales. Most recently, Hansen was a principal at Second Nature, a company offering a comprehensive resident benefits platform. Prior to that, he served as Senior Vice President at Home Partners of America and spent a decade at Apartments.com, where he led the western region and launched rentalhomesplus.com, targeting the single-family home market. At VeriFast, Hansen will drive expansion in the midwestern multifamily sector and the national single-family leasing industry.
“We are excited to welcome Bob to our team,” said Tim Ray, Founder and CEO of VeriFast. “His extensive experience in both sales and property management will be invaluable in engaging with our customers and strengthening our presence in the proptech sector.”
In addition to hiring Hansen, VeriFast has promoted Jeanne Klein from Vice President of Sales to Senior Vice President of Sales and Becca Stafford to Vice President of Operations.
Klein, an expert in multifamily housing fraud, frequently speaks and writes on the subject. Before joining VeriFast, she was National Director of Sales for Lobby CRE and Director of Sales for Parking Boss. Klein’s extensive background in property management includes over a decade with Greystar, The Altman Company, FCI Residential, and ZRS Management.
“Jeanne is a prominent thought leader whose insights into multifamily fraud have been crucial to our platform’s development,” Ray said. “Her contributions have significantly driven our growth.”
Stafford, with more than a decade of experience in property management and real estate accounting, will oversee VeriFast’s AI-driven property management and lending products as Vice President of Operations.
“Becca’s dedication to helping property managers and operators optimize their NOI through data analytics has been exceptional,” Ray noted. “Her deep understanding of customer needs and her support in implementing our solutions have been pivotal in reducing delinquencies and maintaining high occupancy rates.”
