J. Tony Thompson, CMB is the Founder & CEO of the National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America (NAMMBA), an organization he launched in 2016 with a simple but bold vision: to create opportunities and change lives by helping professionals better serve the growing multicultural market. Today, NAMMBA has grown into a national movement with over 15 chapters and 10,000 members across the country.

Tony’s journey began in human resources with Fortune 100 companies before he found his calling as a mortgage originator, where he had the privilege of helping hundreds of families achieve the dream of homeownership each year. His success in sales and leadership opened the door to a bigger mission—founding NAMMBA to transform the way professionals connect, engage, and thrive in a $2.9T multicultural marketplace. Today, he has the honor of coaching three Scotman's Guide Top Originators through his Growth Platform.

Now a nationally recognized speaker, Tony is known for his authentic, high-energy presentations that address the real challenges business professionals face every day. His goal is to leave every audience with clarity, confidence, and practical strategies to grow their business and their life.

Tony lives by a simple mantra: “In order to have what others don’t have, you must be willing to do what others won’t do. When you do that, you set in motion a universe of possibilities.”

His thought leadership has been featured in Scotsman Guide, Housing Wire, National Mortgage News, Mortgage Professional of America, Inman, and other top industry publications. He is also the author of the forthcoming book, High Trust Hiring: Building Great Teams with Authenticity.
