Mike Hattub Prior to HDIA, Mike began Troika Marketing Group, Inc. which developed a platform for mortgage lenders to offer credit restoration to their declines in a very quick and efficient manner effectively creating a new pipeline of future loans for lenders. Before starting Troika Marketing, Mike worked for Sigma Analytics. In April, 1998, Mike left Equifax to join Sigma Analytics and Consulting, Inc. (Sigma) as its first employee after the founder. Sigma was primarily a credit risk modeling company at the outset but quickly took on a marketing modeling capacity, both credit and non-credit, in order to offer modeling across all market needs. Models were developed for both new and existing accounts to predict response, conversion, revenue, delinquency, bankruptcy, collections, and recovery across several industries. In 1997, Mike was moved to Equifax Decision Solutions which was the department where all of the credit scores, for both risk and marketing applications, were developed. Models were developed for Bank of America, Citibank, Fleet, among others. All of the standard modeling techniques were used here (i.e. logistic regression, CART) to build models that predicted outcomes like response, approval, delinquency, and bankruptcy. Mike Hattub began his career at Equifax Credit Marketing Services in 1994 and worked on national consumer credit database and customizing data files for pre-screen direct mail campaigns based on credit criteria and credit scores. |
