Alanna McCargo is a visionary leader and founder of iAM Housing Advisors, bringing over 25 years of economic policy experience across financial services, including affordable housing, real estate, banking, capital markets, and sustainable finance. She has adeptly navigated organizations through disruptive market cycles, crisis response, new policy developments, and regulatory changes while embracing technology modernization and the AI transition. Alanna has collaborated with executive teams and boards across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, working with organizations such as Ginnie Mae, Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, Urban Institute, CoreLogic, JP Morgan Chase, and Fannie Mae to enhance economic security. As a trusted advisor, she has provided insights to senior White House officials, Cabinet members, regulatory bodies, and Congressional committees on vital economic and community development topics. Making history, she was the first woman nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed with bipartisan support by the U.S. Senate to serve as President of the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), representing U.S. interests globally with governments, investors, issuers, and partners. Under her leadership, the U.S. Government launched its first sustainability framework for investors, drove data and disclosure standards, and attracted capital to the U.S. housing market from both global and domestic investors through the agency's first social bond and award-winning green bond programs. Alanna also spearheaded efforts to increase access to Ginnie Mae for smaller community banks, credit unions, CDFIs, and State Housing Finance Agencies through national partnership programs, leading her team to digitalization and cloud enablement of its securitization platform. A nationally recognized housing and social impact leader, researcher, and public speaker, Alanna has testified before Congress on financial services issues and has guest lectured at prestigious academic institutions, including NYU, UPenn, Harvard, and Columbia. Her influential body of research on housing and economic policy, community development, homeownership, wealth-building, and financial inclusion showcases her remarkable ability to forge cross-sector bipartisan partnerships that drive innovative and inclusive outcomes for workers.
