A new chief administrative officer has been appointed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.
The executive is Jerry Weiss, a news release today said.
In addition to his newly created post, Weiss will continue as chief compliance officer of the McLean, Va.-based firm. He’ll also continue overseeing multiple divisions and maintain his direct-report status with Freddie Mac Chief Executive Officer Charles E. Haldeman Jr.
New responsibilities for Weiss include external relations and human resources.
“Weiss manages Freddie Mac’s regulatory affairs and he serves as the company’s senior executive liaison to the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the U.S. Department of the Treasury,” the statement said.
He started with the secondary lender in 2003 and last year was charged with overseeing activities tied to the Making Home Affordable Program. Before Freddie, Weiss worked for Merrill Lynch Investment Managers for 13 years and has spent more than 25 years in the financial services industry.
Freddie noted that Weiss graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. from the State University of New York at Binghamton and earned a law degree from The George Washington University.
