Industry leader with more than 36 years of experience joins MIG to accelerate growth, expand partnerships, and strengthen market leadership.
Knoxville, TN – Mortgage Investors Group (MIG), Tennessee’s #1 THDA and Knoxville lender, proudly announces the appointment of Tonya Strobel as Chief Growth & Affiliated Partnerships Officer.
With a career spanning over three decades, Tonya is a nationally respected mortgage executive known for driving strategic growth, operational transformation, and building joint ventures across the U.S. Most recently, she served as Division Manager at Newrez LLC, the second-largest mortgage servicer in the U.S. and the fifth-largest retail lender in the country. There, she oversaw retail and joint venture teams across multiple states, developed a new wholesale JV model now launching nationally, and ensured profitability across diverse markets during challenging industry years.
Her earlier career included executive leadership roles at Wells Fargo, where she was responsible for mortgage production growth across multiple regions, and at Wilson Bank & Trust, where she elevated the mortgage division to record-breaking performance with innovations in lending platforms, capital markets, and customer service.
“Tonya is a game-changer,” said Anna Beltran, CEO & President of MIG. “Her proven leadership, industry vision, and ability to create strategic partnerships align perfectly with MIG’s momentum as we continue to grow as a 35-year-old company with a strong foundation and bold vision for the future.”
Tonya also brings extensive governance and community engagement experience as a board member of multiple mortgage companies, RESPRO in Washington, DC, and two-time appointee to THDA’s advisory board.
“I’m excited to join MIG at such a pivotal time,” said Strobel. “With a strong culture and reputation as Tennessee’s top lender, MIG is well-positioned to expand its reach and impact. I look forward to building on that success and forging new partnerships that will take the company to even greater heights.”
This appointment follows the recent promotion of Kristin Abouelata, an accomplished Branch Manager and Sr. Loan Officer with decades of service at MIG, to National Sales Leader, uniting a powerhouse leadership team as the company advances its growth.
