FOUNDING

Welcome to the June Edition of Originate Report!

“If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are an excellent leader.” – Dolly

Parton

Inspiration awakens us to new possibilities and drives us to accomplish more than we ever thought possible. You can find it in individual experiences, music, art, family, friends, and in those you’d like to emulate, especially in your chosen field of business. We dedicate the pages within this month’s Originate Report to those fearless female leaders in the industry who have individually shared their experiences, hopefully leading the way to inspiration for those who follow in their footsteps. Collectively, this group of women highlights the possibilities – the heights – to which you can rise despite any obstacles that may be in your way.

Some of the most inspirational leaders have had to overcome adversities that could have broken them, but instead instilled a desire to succeed that is imbued in every molecule of their being. For our cover story, we had the privilege of sitting down with a woman who exemplifies the inspirational leader persona, Rayman “Ray” Mathoda. Currently the CEO of the nation’s leading private, direct lender, Anchor Loans, Ray’s journey to the top was not easy. Born in India, Ray’s life was laid out for her – a life that included a career path and an arranged marriage. However, against the wishes of her family, Ray moved to the states for college and carved her own path. Studying business and learning to embrace her true self, Ray was welcomed into the LGBTQ+ community with open arms and became a true advocate for universal acceptance. Read more about her growth as a person and an executive in this engrossing cover story for our Women in Real Estate edition.
