Primis Mortgage Celebrates the Semi-Retirement of COO Margaret Kronmueller; Welcomes Pam Jenkins as Successor
WILMINGTON, N.C. — After more than 30 years of remarkable success in the mortgage industry, Primis Mortgage is proud to celebrate the semi-retirement of Chief Operating Officer, Margaret Kronmueller.
From the very beginning, Margaret has been a driving force behind Primis Mortgage—helping to build the company’s foundation and elevate it to the high standards it operates at today. Known for her sharp wit, exacting thinking, and tireless dedication, Margaret has left an indelible mark on her colleagues and the customers we serve.
“Margaret’s leadership and unwavering commitment have been nothing short of extraordinary,” said John Owens, Primis Mortgage CEO. “I’m deeply thankful for the opportunity to work alongside her. We are better because of Margaret, and we are all lucky to have had her as part of our team.”
While Margaret is officially retiring from her role as COO, Primis Mortgage is thrilled to share that she will continue supporting the company in an advisory role of Chief Strategy Officer. Her guidance and insight will remain a valued part of the organization.
In her place, Pam Jenkins will be appointed as the new Chief Operating Officer. Currently serving as a Regional Manager, Pam has built a reputation for strategic leadership in loan origination and real estate financing, while fostering a culture of customer obsession that puts client needs first. Before joining Primis Mortgage, Pam was the President of Austin Capital Bank’s mortgage division and also held various COO roles in the mortgage industry.
“Primis Mortgage has been more than just a career—it has been a family,” said Margaret Kronmueller. “I’m grateful for the friends and colleagues I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. I leave knowing that Pam will carry this work forward seamlessly, and Primis Mortgage will continue to thrive under her leadership.”
Everyone at Primis would like to congratulate Margaret on a wildly successful career and wish her the best in retirement. Her next chapter promises plenty of new memories, and we will celebrate all she has accomplished and all that lies ahead.
