Leadership & the machine

Every name on this page answers their own email.

Recruiting sites love org charts. We'd rather introduce the actual people — locally and nationally — and let you contact any of them directly.

Local leadership · Eden Prairie

The face, and the operating system.

Tom Gould and Oliver White at the Eden Prairie office

Oliver White — Branch Manager · Sales Leader · NMLS #1254113

Oliver White runs the Eden Prairie branch the way top producers wish every branch ran — sales-first, fast, and personal. He finished 2025 as Fairway’s #1 individual loan officer nationally while building a branch where other originators break their own records.

If you call the number on this site, there’s a good chance Oliver answers. He’s the front end of everything here: the recruiting conversations, the realtor relationships, the production culture. His pitch is simple — come see how this office actually operates, then decide.

Tom Gould — Branch Manager · Strategy & Systems

Tom Gould builds the machine: the websites, the tools, the branded reports, the AI-augmented workflows, and the strategy that keeps the branch two moves ahead. While Oliver is the face, Tom is the operating system.

Every originator who joins gets a personal web presence, a marketing engine, and systems designed so the loan officer spends their hours on relationships and structuring — not on busywork a machine should be doing.

The pipeline

Your files, run like a system.

Kate Harrington owns the pipeline. Every file in this branch moves through an operations discipline she manages end to end — which is why the producers here can carry the volume they carry without living in their inboxes.

Ask any producer here what changed first when they joined — most say the same thing: they stopped chasing their own files. That’s Kate.
