šŸŽ™ Featuring: Bill Cosgrove, CEO, Union Home Mortgage Corp.

From two branches to a national force—hear how Bill Cosgrove built a powerhouse.
Over the last three decades, Bill Cosgrove has helped shape one of the most successful mortgage banks in America. As CEO of Union Home Mortgage, he’s grown the company from 35 partners to nearly 2,000 nationwide—rooted in a culture-first philosophy that’s as personal as it is powerful.
In this special Leadership on Main, Bill sits down with Akron RubberDucks owner and community leader Ken Babby for a candid conversation about values-based leadership, long-term growth, and the real meaning of legacy.
You’ll hear how Bill’s early days as a loan officer shaped his people-first mindset, how he's navigated rapid expansion while staying grounded in Northeast Ohio—and why national leaders and policymakers continue to seek his voice.
