Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[kthomp19]

Not me; my guess would be Adolfo Marzol, former chief Marketing and credit guy in his years at Fannie; or even Ed Pinto, who was in Marketing'Single Family at Fannie.

Adolfo also spent time in the MI industry after Fannie.

Your guess is quite shrewd. Tim Howard confirmed that the rumored name is indeed Adolfo Marzol.

Tim Howard's comment

Adolfo knows the mortgage business, and Fannie and Freddie, well, and in my view would be a better choice as FHFA director than any of the other people whose names have been bruited about for the position.
