Led by Amber Sichler, a mortgage industry expert with extensive experience in underwriting, financial analytics, and process automation, the firm brings a deep understanding of both the opportunities and challenges lenders face when adopting AI-driven mortgage technology. With firsthand experience on both the lender and technology provider sides, iQuantify Consulting brings a unique perspective to mortgage automation, helping lenders navigate roadblocks and implement technology effectively.

Amber holds a Master of Science in Financial Analytics, bringing specialized expertise in predictive modeling, financial risk management, and data-driven decision-making. Proficient in Python, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and cloud computing, she leverages advanced analytics to develop tailored, scalable solutions that enhance automation, efficiency, and risk assessment for mortgage lenders.

Prior to founding iQuantify Consulting, Amber held leadership roles in underwriting automation and financial technology at UBS, Candor Technology, and ICE Mortgage Technology. Throughout her career, she has specialized in AI-driven underwriting solutions, process optimization, and data analytics, helping lenders enhance loan quality, improve efficiency, and optimize credit risk assessment. 

iQuantify Consulting's vision is to transform mortgage underwriting by redefining workflows through efficiency, accuracy, loan quality, and cost optimization—all powered by data-driven insights. 

The underwriting process begins the moment a borrower applies for a mortgage, with document and data collection continuing through processing, closing, and final loan execution. Traditionally, underwriting has been a resource-intensive function throughout this cycle, but advancements in automation now enable lenders to analyze and validate data from the outset. By leveraging AI-driven decisioning and intelligent data extraction, lenders can streamline resources, improve cost efficiency, and reduce risk—transforming underwriting from a manual, fragmented process to a continuous, automated framework that enhances loan quality, investor confidence, and secondary market execution. 

While mortgage technology continues to evolve, many lenders still struggle with fully adopting and scaling automation. iQuantify Consulting brings specialized knowledge in underwriting, technology, process optimization, and data analytics to help lenders overcome these challenges. The firm specializes in identifying bottlenecks in loan processing, from guideline complexities to risk assessment inefficiencies, and leverages meaningful data insights to refine automation strategies, reduce inefficiencies, and create more scalable, technology-driven lending operations.

Beyond technology, iQuantify Consulting focuses on collaboration and empowering teams to succeed. The firm partners with leadership to ensure cross-departmental ownership of automation initiatives, aligning strategies across underwriting, sales, and operations. At the same time, iQuantify provides hands-on training and support for underwriters, loan officers, and operations teams, ensuring seamless technology adoption and integration into daily workflows.

Automation should be a tool that enhances roles, allowing employees to focus on higher-value decision-making rather than manual processes.

At iQuantify, the vision is built on partnership, innovation, and transformation—ensuring that automation not only improves efficiency but also supports the people who use it.
