Mortgage tech expert Dan Sogorka has joined Rocket Pro Third Party Origination as its General Manager, the company announced.

Sogorka brings extensive experience to the newly created role, which he officially started on September 3. 

“I’ve spent decades leveraging technology to simplify the complex home financing process. Now, I’m eager to tap into that skillset to bring the broker community into the future,” he said. “With mortgage brokers being such a large part of the market, my role will be to supercharge brokers to educate, engage, and help their clients be successful homebuyers and owners.”

Sogorka will oversee Rocket’s broker business, ensuring its growth and encouraging greater integration of AI technology. 

“Dan comes to Rocket with a proven track record of success with both large tech companies and scrappy start-ups, paired with an appetite to revolutionize the broker space by leveraging Rocket’s quickly expanding data, technology, and AI capabilities,” said Heather Lovier, Chief Operating Officer of Rocket Companies.

Sogorka most recently served as CEO and president of mortgage fintech Sagent. He has held executive-level positions at Cloudvirga and ServiceLink. Before that, he spent nearly 15 years with Black Knight where he served as a business unit president.

Rocket Companies has doubled down on AI and new technologies as the next frontier of the mortgage business.

“Despite its growing prominence, the broker community is decades behind when it comes to the technology and the experience of originating a loan. That’s why I’m proud to introduce Daniel Sogorka to the team as Rocket Pro TPO’s first-ever General Manager,” Rocket CEO Varun Krishna wrote in a LinkedIn post.

Rocket has made several big leadership moves this year, including hiring former Airbnb and Coca-Cola executive Jonathan Mildenhall as chief marketing officer, fintech expert Shawn Malhotra as its first group chief technology officer, and former Inuit exec Glenn McGillivray as its new chief people and places officer.

The company reported a total net revenue of $1.3 billion with an adjusted revenue of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2024.
