"From my early years with the company to helping lead and grow Rocket Pro beginning in 2017, it has been a privilege to serve the broker community and work alongside talented professionals committed to strengthening the wholesale channel, Fawaz stated. I have long believed in the value independent brokers provide to their communities and in the importance of leadership that is fully aligned in vision and purpose."
"Fawaz, who has served the company most recently as executive vice president of strategy, growth and partnership, joined Rocket in 2011 as a mortgage banker. He entered the wholesale channel in 2017 with Rocket Pro, which serves the broker community. Prior to his current role, he was senior vice president of sales, overseeing account executives who work with broker partners."
"Fawaz's exit marks the second recent leadership departure from Rocket Pro. In late January, HousingWire reported that Dan Sogorka left the company after joining as general manager in September 2024. Sogorka cited family considerations, including a son who's attending college, another nearing high school graduation and a 2-year-old daughter. Rocket Pro is now led by Austin Niemiec, who reports to Heather Lovier, chief operating officer of Rocket Companies."
Fawaz joined Rocket in 2011 as a mortgage banker and rose to executive vice president of strategy, growth and partnership. He entered the wholesale channel in 2017 with Rocket Pro and previously served as senior vice president of sales overseeing account executives who work with broker partners.

Fawaz cited belief in the value of independent brokers and aligned leadership. His departure follows Dan Sogorka's exit; Austin Niemiec now leads Rocket Pro.
