Breakfast and fireside chat with Ron Fournier, Publisher/Editor, Crain's Detroit Business and Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber THRIVE Award winner: Mat Ishbia, President/CEO United Shore 

Mat is a game-changer. With a vision to create a more perfect mortgage world, Mat changed the game-from a commodity to a service, from an outside to inside sales team-focused on relationships, knowledge, and speed. Mat believes a team together is more powerful than a team apart. From just an idea to the number one wholesaler, Mat built UWM with similar rigor to his championship days playing and coaching with Michigan State Basketball Coach Tom Izzo. No competitor is as knowledgeable, has better technology, or delivers world-class service better than Mat and UWM. After working through many roles at the company, Mat was named President/CEO of United Shore in 2013.

BBChamber will also recognize highlights of the year along with 2017 Ambassador of the Year to Michele Rhodes.
