Background
Aimee Quinn, president of Nations Direct Mortgage, has won the Top Workplaces Woman-led Company Award, recognizing her leadership and the company’s strong growth. Quinn oversees day-to-day operations and leads all sales, operations and corporate functions. Under her leadership over the past 15 years, the company has expanded from 14 to 41 states, originated more than $32 billion in loan volume, and now services over 108,000 borrowers.
Quinn said the banking industry has changed greatly in the past three decades, especially for women. She noted that while the sector was once male-dominated, more women now hold senior leadership roles. She said cloud-based systems, remote work and flexible schedules have helped women overcome earlier barriers and find better work-life balance.
More than 60 percent of Nations Direct Mortgage’s management team are women. Quinn said this shift happened naturally, as the company focused on creating a supportive workplace with training opportunities and a flexible work culture. Word-of-mouth referrals from women employees also helped increase representation.
Quinn, who has more than 30 years of experience in banking and capital markets, said she did not have a formal mentor but learned from male leaders early in her career. She credited teamwork, dedication and trust as key parts of her leadership approach.
Quinn said technology has changed mortgage operations, but AI still faces limits because of strict rules and regulations. She believes the business will remain human-centered because home loans are one of the most important financial decisions people make.
Quinn also highlighted Las Vegas as a strong market for banking talent and said her role as the company’s “fun ambassador” helps bring positivity during high-pressure moments in mortgage operations.
