MINNEAPOLIS — President Jeffrey Weidell will become CEO of NorthMarq effective Jan. 1, 2020. He will succeed Eduardo Padilla, who has served in the role for 20 years and will become executive chair. Weidell has been responsible for a number of successful initiatives as president, including a production training program, the launch of the investment sales business, growth in both mortgage origination and investment sales, and expansion of the equity advisory business. He was promoted to president in 2013 after serving as managing director of the San Francisco office since he joined NorthMarq in 2000.
“This planned executive transition sets the stage for NorthMarq to continue to thrive, ensuring our operations, financing and investment sales businesses maintain the highest level of client support,” said Padilla in a news release.
Under Padilla’s leadership, Minneapolis-based NorthMarq completed nearly 20 acquisitions, growing to 37 debt and equity offices with more than 50 correspondent relationships and a loan servicing portfolio of nearly $60 billion. NorthMarq is part of the Pohlad Cos., a privately held portfolio of businesses and investments spanning a variety of industries.
