Magenta is proud to announce our Director of Operations, Alex Marshall, has been named a Rising Star by Canadian Mortgage Professional magazine.
This award is given to 50 of the mortgage industry’s most promising young professionals from across Canada. This year, recipients are being acknowledged for their ability to adapt to the challenges of 2020.
In naming him a Rising Star, CMP recognized Alex Marshall for his “five years building [Magenta’s] operational and analytical capabilities”. His recent “digital transformation projects [designed] to meet the changing needs of brokers, borrowers and investors” were also highlighted.
“I am hopeful that the industry understands that digital solutions are not meant to entirely replace physical ones. Rather, digital solutions should mirror or complement physical ones to provide clients with a variety of pathways towards financing,” he says.
Alex Marshall is a recent graduate of the MBA program at the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University. He is also a recipient of the Tom Burns MBA Prize in International Business. Marshall emphasizes the importance of looking outside the industry for inspiration. “It is often the case where innovation in one industry can be translated to another,” he says, “but it’s impossible to apply these innovations if you simply aren’t aware of them”.
