Major leadership shift aims to propel brokerage into new growth phase
Independent mortgage brokerage TMG The Mortgage Group has announced two key leadership appointments as part of its strategic growth and innovation efforts.
Dan Pultr has been named president and chief operating officer (COO), effective April 1, 2025. Pultr has been with TMG since 2011. A news release noted that he played a key role in shaping the company’s strategic direction and growth.
Outgoing president Mark Kerzner, who will continue as CEO of the TMG Group of Companies, praised Pultr’s leadership qualities. “Dan’s ability to drive growth while maintaining our strong culture of service and professionalism ensures a bright future for TMG,” Kerzner said. “We are confident that under his leadership, TMG will continue to expand and support our brokers and partners in delivering the best mortgage solutions to Canadians.”
Pultr expressed enthusiasm for his new role, emphasizing his dedication to agent productivity and business development. “The past 13 and a half years at TMG have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m fortunate to work with such an exceptional team,” he said. “As we look ahead, our focus remains on providing the best tools, training, and resources to maximize agent productivity.”
In a concurrent leadership move, TMG has appointed Christa Mitchell as senior vice president of strategic initiatives. In her new role, Mitchell will focus on enhancing operational efficiency, optimizing technology integration, and expanding opportunities for brokers within TMG’s network.
“Christa’s deep industry knowledge and innovative approach make her the ideal leader to drive TMG’s strategic initiatives forward,” Pultr said. “Her fresh perspective, insights, and industry relationships will be pivotal in achieving our ambitious growth objectives.”
Mitchell, a veteran in mortgage brokerage leadership and technology integration, expressed her excitement in joining TMG. “For 35 years, TMG has built a legacy of integrity, leadership, and unwavering support for mortgage professionals across Canada,” she said. “I am honoured to join such a respected organization and excited to contribute to its continued success.”
The appointments follow the promotion of Veronica Love from SVP, corporate development to chief revenue officer in October 2024, the first in a series of changes at senior management level.
The changes arrive as TMG celebrates its 35th year in business. Established in 1990 by Grant and Debbie Thomas, the brokerage has grown into a national leader with nearly 1,800 agents and $14 billion in annual originations.
