Prior to that, he was chief financial officer for a Belgian bank-owned mortgage origination and servicing company based in New York, helping the company enter two new lines of business and significantly grow its revenue and customer bases. Hahn has also served as chief financial officer for a large cooperatively owned private bank where he directed all finance and accounting functions and as executive vice president of a publicly traded mortgage bank where he coordinated all production
accounting and finance activities supporting four channels of mortgage origination.
Since 1982 when he began his career, Hahn spent five years with two of the Big Four accounting and auditing firms, and in various management roles with financial services institutions, rising to chief financial officer. A CPA, he has a bachelor’s degree in commerce from DePaul University and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Chicago. Hahn is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Illinois and Ohio CPA Societies and Financial Executives International.
