It takes a special individual to integrate the human side of mortgages into the monetary equation. Prateek Khokhar, CFO of American Pacific Mortgage (APM), does this by using his vast experience, analytical skills and emotional intellect. He understands that a company can’t succeed if its people don’t shine.
Khokhar recently returned to APM after three years. In his eight months back, Khokhar has been instrumental in not only managing APM’s bottom line, but its people and relationships. On the numbers side, Khokhar naturally oversees the balance sheet, works to preserve liquidity, and manages the challenges that come with profitability in the current market.
However, the care he bestows on his team members, counterparties, vendors, and everyone within the organization, from executives to branch managers, makes Khokhar a standout.
Being a 20-plus-year industry veteran who knows his numbers and margins inside and out, Khokhar works to make sure he can clearly communicate his directives to all different departments. More importantly, he goes out of his way to check in on everyone. “What do you need from me?” and “How can I help?” are phrases you hear from Khokhar, who talks with each team member daily.
