President and CEO joins housing industry leaders in annual recognition

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Arch Mortgage Insurance Company (Arch MI US), a leading provider of private mortgage insurance in the US and a wholly owned subsidiary of Arch Capital Group Ltd., today announced that David Gansberg, president and chief executive officer of Arch MI US, has been selected to receive the 2016 Vanguard Award by HousingWire (HW) magazine. Gansberg was recognized for his leadership in building Arch MI US into one of the fastest-growing private mortgage insurance companies in the industry.

The HW Vanguard Award recognizes C-level professionals who have become leaders in their respective fields within the housing and mortgage finance industry. The award honors industry leaders and business leaders whose influence is felt throughout their organizations, their communities and the entire housing industry. In 2016, HousingWire named 40 leaders in the housing economy to their second annual list.

"The HW Vanguards continued to impress going into its second year; the winners are second-to-none and this list represents the finest cross section of mortgage talent available," said Jacob Gaffney, HousingWire editor-in-chief.

Arch MI US’s Gansberg is one such leader. Since launching Arch MI US as an approved MI company in 2014, Gansberg has reengineered its framework for offering mortgage insurance — reinforcing superior risk management practices, broadening its customer focus and driving new technology initiatives. Arch MI US, once seen as a relatively small, new entrant to the industry, is now one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, establishing its leadership in the space from both a technology and business standpoint. In less than three years, Gansberg’s leadership has driven considerable success for Arch MI, including expanding its market share.

“I’m honored to be a recipient of HW’s 2016 Vanguard Award, joining such an impressive list of executive achievers in the housing and mortgage finance industries,” said Mr. Gansberg. “I’m also pleased to accept this award as a tribute to the entire team at Arch MI, whose hard work and dedication have driven the amazing success we’ve had over the past three years.”

“At Arch MI US, we focus on bringing innovation and new ideas to the mortgage insurance industry to improve our customers’ experience and expand their mortgage origination opportunities,” he continued. “We’ve been rewarded with strong growth in our business, and this recognition is further confirmation that we are having a positive impact on our industry and the nation’s residential housing market.”
