Background

About Derek Rigsby

Strategic. Steady. Selective. With over two decades of experience across mortgage lending, branch operations, and financial services, I’ve built my career around one core principle: growth without chaos. Now, as Division Vice President at LeaderOne Financial, I’m leading a national initiative to add $100MM/month in production — not by chasing volume, but by curating it. I’ve walked the floors, managed the margins, and sat at the tables where high-stakes decisions are made. I know how to scale teams, navigate change, and build infrastructure that lasts — not just survives. What I bring: Proven leadership in high-growth environments Operational precision and compliance excellence A builder’s mindset with a coach’s heart Deep experience in M&A, recruiting, and onboarding A calm, resilient approach to performance and people This is a new era of mortgage leadership — one where producers don’t have to sacrifice control to grow, or culture to scale. If that resonates with you, I’d love to connect.
