Monika Bhatla Recognized as Industry Thought Leader

DENVER; January 15, 2025 – Mortgage Cadence, an Accenture (NYSE: ACN) company, announced today that Monika Bhatla, Head of Quality, has been recognized as a 2024 Thought Leaders by the PROGRESS in Lending Association. This prestigious honor highlights Monika’s impactful contributions and innovative leadership within the mortgage industry.

“We need industry thought leaders if mortgage lending is going to advance moving forward,” wrote PROGRESS in Lending Founder and Chairman Tony Garritano when he announced the winners. “Our existing awards all acknowledge the good work that executives are doing now, but we think it’s time to reward future work and initiatives. We need thought leaders who are not afraid to step forward and blaze a new trail. We need creativity. We need bold new ideas.”

As the Head of Quality, Monika has witnessed firsthand how critical quality assurance is in delivering innovative solutions that drive growth and success for lenders. Her team rigorously tests all products and services to ensure they deliver efficiency, reliability, and compliance — the core tenets of any technological advancement in lending.

She recognizes that the lending industry is in a state of constant change, with new technologies and practices emerging rapidly. However, she stresses that no innovation is successful without proper testing and quality. In an industry that deals with sensitive data, compliance risks, and operational efficiency, rigorous testing ensures that new systems work as intended, integrate seamlessly with existing tools, and meet the stringent regulations that govern the sector.

By ensuring testing is at the core of every new development, Monika helps Mortgage Cadence remain a trusted partner to some of the largest and most successful lenders in the industry. Her leadership was instrumental in rolling out the company’s innovative Testing-as-a-Service offering, setting a new standard for quality and reliability.

“We are thrilled to see Monika receive this well-deserved recognition,” said Seth Hooper, Chief Product Officer for Mortgage Cadence. “Her team’s direction and support enhance everything we do, driving excellence across all of our solutions.”
