Mike Weinbach has officially assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer at Radian and joined the company’s Board of Directors, succeeding Rick Thornberry.

Radian said Thornberry will serve as a strategic advisor through his retirement on December 31, 2026. The planned transition was first announced on May 21, 2026, when Weinbach was named CEO-elect.

The company also said it is pairing its Mortgage and Specialty Insurance operations to support long-term value generation, and it cited Weinbach’s prior leadership experience, including serving as President of Mr. Cooper Group.
