The company is setting its sights on further expansion in the months and years ahead
Alta West Capital announced this week the appointment of Ryley Iverson as its new director of operations, a strategic move following a year of what the company described as “staggering growth.”
That expansion has included acquisition by private equity firm TriWest Capital Partners and an upscaling of its operations, with Iverson’s appointment set to support the company as it continues to unveil new offerings.
Iverson arrives at Alta West Capital with a reputation as a co-founder and former CEO of Townfolio, a data-driven software-as-a-service platform that provided resources to municipal governments across North America. The platform was successfully acquired by a multinational private equity firm in 2020. According to the announcement, Townfolio’s journey demonstrates Iverson’s ability to create “scalable solutions for traditionally underserved markets.”
For the past decade, Iverson has worked in roles that blend technology and community impact, the company said. At Colliers, he served as the national lead for PropTech Innovation, where he helped craft innovation roadmaps and spearhead pilot projects.
He also held advisory positions for startup incubators and public sector initiatives. Most recently, Iverson worked as the digital transformation manager at Community Futures, a 30-year-old lending institution where he “digitized their legacy processes, upgraded core infrastructure, and helped set the stage for a lot more future growth,” according to the company’s statement.
“I am proud to be a part of the Alta West Capital team,” Iverson said in the announcement. “They are at a very exciting point in their trajectory, and I am excited to help them springboard into their next chapter. It’s going to be a big decade for this company.”
Iverson’s leadership is expected to help the company manage the accelerated pace of scaling driven by current and future product offerings, such as the company’s Express B Low Doc 1st mortgage product.
CEO George Botros also weighed in on the new hire. “Ryley’s rare combination of entrepreneurial spirit, operational discipline and systematic thinking made him the ideal choice for this role,” he said. “He just understands the sensitivity of scaling a business without sacrificing the integrity of its relationships. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the team.”
