He is well-suited to lead our extensive operations in the eastern region and to execute strategies that drive customer delight!”
Montalvo most recently served as central region president, managing NATC’s operations in Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Texas. Prior to that, he was Illinois division president. His career in the title industry began in 1991 as a scheduling clerk with the Professional National Title Network.
