July 24, 2019

Former CEO of loanDepot's online lending platform, mellohome, has left the company to join OJO Labs, a proptech startup, as its new Chief Real Estate Officer (CREO).

Heller’s new responsibilities as CREO include “shaping strategies, creating a cohesive structure between real estate professionals and OJO, and accelerating adoption in the industry.” In 2018, he served as a board member of OJO Labs when the firm agreed to make loanDepot its mortgage provider.
