Sagent Promotes CEO, Names Board Chairman

DALLAS, Sept. 21, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Sagent, a leading fintech company powering several of the largest mortgage operators in the country, today announced significant leadership changes aimed at accelerating the company’s growth and scaling the deployment of its Dara AI platform. The company’s new leadership structure includes the promotion of Sridhar Sharma to Chief Executive Officer and the appointment of Andrew Bon Salle as Chairman of the Board. These strategic moves come as Sagent accelerates the growth and deployment of Dara, its AI-native, end-to-end mortgage servicing platform.

Sridhar Sharma, who previously served as Sagent’s President, has been a pivotal force in advancing the company’s mission to unify and scale the entire mortgage lifecycle through Dara. Prior to joining Sagent, Sharma spent a decade leading product, technology, and AI initiatives at Mr. Cooper, where he developed several patented artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms. Under Sharma’s leadership, Mr. Cooper became America’s largest mortgage servicer. His experience in pioneering the application of AI in mortgage servicing has shaped the vision for Dara.

As CEO, Sharma will lead the next phase of growth, focusing on ongoing large-scale Dara implementations, expanding adoption of Dara, and driving efficiency and new capabilities for servicers.

Andrew Bon Salle, who brings nearly three decades of executive leadership experience from Fannie Mae, will serve as Chairman of the Board. His deep understanding of housing finance, servicing, capital markets, and regulatory dynamics will help expand the reach of Dara and advance the modernization of mortgage servicing.

The leadership transition follows the successful development and launch of Dara under the guidance of Chris Marshall. Under Marshall's leadership, Sagent transformed its vision for mortgage servicing modernization into Dara. Marshall's leadership and vision are appreciated. Dara is Sagent's industry-defining, AI-native platform with embedded compliance and automation to orchestrate the entire servicing lifecycle. The result is greater operational efficiency, enhanced agility, and better outcomes for both servicers and homeowners.

Sagent, which powers America's top bank and nonbank lenders with technology designed to modernize the homeownership experience for millions of borrowers, has built Dara from the ground up for the future of mortgage servicing. Dara combines deep industry expertise with modern cloud-native technology to help customers thrive in every market cycle.

Sagent’s new leadership team is poised to take the company to the next level, with Sharma leading the company’s growth and Salle providing strategic oversight. Together, they aim to accelerate Dara’s deployment and continue to shape the future of mortgage servicing through AI.
