Company adds Mo Asady, Mark Braden, and Lynn Calahan to accelerate adoption of groundbreaking agentic AI platform
November 19, 2025 – PETERSBURG, Fla. – Alpha7X, the mortgage industry’s first agentic AI utility infrastructure that connects, validates and synchronizes mortgage data and eliminates redundant loan reviews, today announced the appointments of three senior executives to its leadership team. The company named Mo Asady as chief technology officer, Mark Braden as chief strategy officer and Lynn Calahan as senior product director to accelerate adoption of its patent-pending platform.
Alpha7X provides a shared orchestration layer that empowers lenders, servicers, custodians and investors to execute data reviews up to seven times faster than traditional processes. The company’s platform uses agentic AI automation to reconcile data and documents, preserve lineage and maintain a single, auditable record of truth that can be reused by all parties.
As CTO, Asady brings more than 20 years of experience in AI, machine learning, automation and large-scale platform development, including executive roles at Convirza, Freighton and GTV AB. He will be responsible for overseeing the company’s platform architecture, engineering and long-term technology strategy.
“Alpha7X is creating next-generation infrastructure that the mortgage industry has long waited for,” Asady said. “I’m thrilled for the opportunity to help solve one of the industry’s biggest challenges, and look forward to ensuring we deliver a secure, resilient platform that supports continuous, intelligent automation.”
As chief strategy officer, Braden will guide Alpha7X’s strategic roadmap, enterprise engagement and operational alignment. Previously, he held senior roles at KPMG, ServiceLink, Sierra Pacific Mortgage and Irwin Mortgage Corp., where he led modernization initiatives, digital transformation programs and large-scale efficiency efforts.
“Alpha7X’s orchestration layer addresses a structural issue that has slowed the industry for decades,” Braden said. “My goal is to help organizations adopt agentic AI in a way that delivers greater accuracy in communicating data, providing measurable results and giving every stakeholder a clear path to more transparent, efficient operations.”
Calahan has more than 25 years of experience in regulatory technology and developing mortgage data standards, including leadership roles at MISMO, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Financial Research, Wells Fargo and Fannie Mae. As senior product director, she will oversee initiatives involving data governance and the company’s Asset Certification Infrastructure, a standards-driven framework that establishes a single, verifiable record of truth for each mortgage asset.
“Much of my career has been focused on improving trust in mortgage data and documents,” Calahan said. “Alpha7X is the first platform to operationalize that trust across the entire asset lifecycle. I look forward to advancing the data standards and governance needed to support more accurate and efficient lending characteristics.”
Alpha7X’s agentic AI platform eliminates manual “stare and compare” work by autonomously reconciling data and documents at the field level. The system establishes a verifiable source of truth, issues audit logs and compliance scores, and reruns checks automatically whenever data changes.
The platform is already being used by several leading custodians, settlement agents, and compliance providers, where it has been demonstrated to lower costs by as much as 85% compared with traditional manual processes. CEO Jim Cutillo said all three appointments will help strengthen the company’s ability to meet growing demand.
“Mo, Mark and Lynn bring deep experience in technology, strategy and data governance,” Cutillo said. “Their leadership will help us scale the trusted infrastructure needed to reduce redundant reviews and improve accuracy across the mortgage lifecycle.”
