Marlin Mortgage Holdings, LLC today announced the promotion of Darren Halpern and Tyler Wichmann to Co-Presidents, effective immediately.
Andrew Weber, Founder & CEO, commented:
“As Founder, CEO and majority shareholder, I am proud to elevate two of the architects who have been with us through the critical growth we have experienced over our first half-decade of operations. Darren and Tyler have earned this recognition through exceptional performance and unwavering commitment to Marlin’s mission. This move positions Marlin to accelerate into our next phase of growth and maturity.
“Darren and Tyler are not just outstanding executives—they are my partners. During a period of tremendous expansion, Marlin grew from zero to a Master Servicer with nearly fifty billion dollars in unpaid principal balances (UPB). Promoting them to Co-Presidents is the natural evolution of our leadership structure as we enter a new stage of institutional maturity. With this team in place, I have never been more confident in our ability to execute at the highest level and create substantial long-term value for all stakeholders.”
Darren Halpern, who serves as Chief Financial Officer and previously held the title of Chief Operating Officer during Marlin’s servicing platform build-out, will continue as CFO while adding the Co-President title. In his expanded role, Darren will retain full oversight of Finance, Treasury, Accounting, and all day-to-day Operations across servicing.
“Since joining in 2020, it’s remarkable to see how much Marlin has grown,” said Halpern. “I’m looking forward to helping take Marlin to the next level.” Tyler Wichmann, Marlin’s General Counsel, will continue in that capacity while stepping into the Co-President role. Tyler will drive excellence across Legal, Deal Structuring, Regulatory Compliance, Licensing, Corporate Governance, and oversight of other affiliated businesses.
“I am honored by this recognition and deeply grateful for Andrew’s leadership and trust,” said Wichmann. “As Co-President, I look forward to working alongside Darren to advance our key priorities and strengthen our platform across all dimensions. We are focused on driving sustainable growth, expanding our capabilities, and maintaining the disciplined approach that has defined our success. This achievement reflects the dedication and collaboration of our entire team, and I am fortunate to work alongside such talented colleagues.”
As Co-Presidents, Darren and Tyler will report directly to the CEO and will jointly lead strategic initiatives under the CEO’s direction, with particular emphasis on growth opportunities, capital formation, and scaling Marlin’s MSR and affiliated businesses. This move will support management’s effort to deliver the best MSR platform to its clients and drive strong results and value creation for its shareholders.
