Jonathan Cornell to join FSA
Share
Mortgage industry guru Jonathan Cornell is set to join the Financial Services Authority as an analyst in its retail intermediaries and mortgage sector team in 2012.
Cornell, former managing director of Hamptons Mortgages, has more than 15 years experience in the mortgage industry.
He has most recently been working as an industry consultant, advising several large broker firms and lenders.
Cornell has also written Mortgage Strategy’s Marketwatch column for the past eight years - an unmissable read for many in the mortgage industry.
Cornell will no longer be writing Marketwatch, but Mortgage Strategy would like to wish him well in his new role.
Robert Thickett, editor of Mortgage Strategy, says: “It’s fantastic news for the mortgage intermediary market that such a respected figure as Jonathan is going to work with the regulator.
“With his vast knowledge of the mortgage and intermediary markets that he has gained over the last 15 years he will no doubt prove invaluable to the FSA.”
Cornell says: “I’m looking forward to starting at the FSA - it’s a new challenge and I’m excited by this opportunity.”
