In addition, the board is confident that David's broad business experience wil help further the company's competitiveness in all our businesses." The board has also announced that Deborah Jenkins, currently senior vice president of multifamily underwriting and credit, will be promoted effective Jan. 1, 2019, to step into Brickman's old position as head of the multifamily business. "Debby's appointment to head Freddie Mac Multifamily is very well-deserved, based on her impressive management of the underwriting and credit functions and her instrumental role in the success of Freddie Mac's multifamily business," Lynch said.
