Sue Allon is a nationally recognized leader and visionary in the mortgage due diligence and credit risk management industry. Allon founded Allonhill with a mission to reinvent the mortgage due diligence industry. This includes fixing problems that contributed to the mortgage meltdown to prevent future freezes, with a heavy emphasis on technology and transparency. Allon interacts on a daily basis with some of the largest hedge funds and investment banks as well as government agencies, giving her first-hand knowledge of issues facing the industry and the state of trading.
Allon introduced credit risk management to the mortgage industry when she founded the Murrayhill Company in the 1990s. Murrayhill was acquired by another company and merged into Clayton Holdings, where Allon served as a board member before starting Allonhill. Before that, Allon served as a manager at accounting firm Coopers & Lybrand, where she was in charge of business development for the company's Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) asset management practice, which became the largest RTC contractor during her five years there. She has worked in mortgage securities since her first job out of college and knows both the sell side and the buy side of mortgage transactions.
Allon was named Ernst and Young Co.'s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2002 and awarded the Denver Business Journal's Outstanding Women in Business Award in Banking and Finance in 2010. Allon graduated cum laude from Colorado College in 1980 with a bachelor's degree. She earned a master's degree in accounting from the University of Denver and a master's degree in business administration from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. She sits on numerous boards, including the board of overseers at the Tuck School of Business and the board of trustees for Colorado College and National Jewish Health.
