HomeBanc Mortgage Corporations’ 1998 addition of Robert C. Bennett as Executive Vice President / Chief Information Officer confirms HomeBanc’s commitment to being a leader in the application of cutting-edge technology to the mortgage process. HomeBanc has been Atlanta’s No. 1 mortgage lender since 1992, and is now the fastest growing mortgage lender in central and south Florida. Mr. Bennett brought more than 17 years of marketing and information technology experience and leadership to HomeBanc. As the corporation’s first CIO, he is responsible for all of HomeBanc’s information technology and E-Commerce programs and is charged with developing strategies to enhance communications and support for customers and partners as HomeBanc continues its growth and seeks ever more innovative ways to speed the mortgage process and enhance its already world-class service.

"As we continue to see an emergence of commerce through the use of technology, it is crucial that we assemble the talent and leadership necessary to meet and exceed our technology and customer-service goals," said HomeBanc President Patrick S. Flood. "Robert Bennett brings that talent and leadership to HomeBanc."
