Sue Meitner Named a 2026 Powerful Woman in Mortgage Banking by Mortgage Banker Magazine

National recognition celebrates Meitner’s leadership, entrepreneurial success, and commitment to empowering women in the mortgage industry.

AMBLER, PA | October 2026 – Mortgage Banker Magazine has named Sue Meitner, Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB), one of its 2026 Powerful Women of Mortgage Banking. Meitner serves as President and Founder of Centennial Lending Group, powered by Success Mortgage Partners.

Each year, the magazine honors powerful women who shape the future of mortgage banking through leadership, innovation, and industry influence. These leaders challenge expectations, create opportunities, and inspire the next generation of women in finance.

Breaking Barriers in Mortgage Banking

Meitner brings more than 30 years of experience in mortgage sales, operations, underwriting, and executive leadership. Throughout her career, she has challenged traditional thinking and created opportunities for others.

In 2010, Meitner founded Centennial Lending Group and built one of the few women-owned independent mortgage banking companies in the country. She grew the company through strategic leadership, strong relationships, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

Her journey from loan originator to entrepreneur and executive demonstrates what women can accomplish when they pursue their ambitions with confidence and determination.

“I believe one of the greatest responsibilities of leadership is to open doors for others,” said Meitner. “When I started my company, I wanted to prove that women could build, lead, and succeed at the highest levels of this industry. Today, what means the most to me is helping other women recognize their potential and find the confidence to pursue their own dreams.”

Empowering Women and Inspiring Future Leaders

Meitner’s influence reaches far beyond mortgage lending. She actively champions women’s leadership, financial independence, and homeownership.

Through her Grab Your Keys podcast, national speaking engagements, and professional coaching, she shares lessons from her own journey. She also mentors emerging leaders and encourages women to pursue opportunities in business and finance.

Additionally, Meitner founded the Unlocking the Power of Her Women’s Summit. The annual event brings women together to exchange ideas, build relationships, and develop personally and professionally.

“We need more women in more rooms,” Meitner added. “We need their perspectives, their ideas, and their voices. When we support each other and create opportunities for the next generation, we make our entire industry stronger.”

A Legacy of Leadership and Impact

This latest honor adds to Meitner’s extensive list of national mortgage industry awards. Her accomplishments reflect decades of dedication to mortgage banking, entrepreneurship, and the advancement of women.

Yet Meitner continues to measure success by more than industry recognition. She focuses on helping families achieve homeownership, strengthening professional relationships, and inspiring others to reach their potential.

Through her leadership and advocacy, Meitner continues to make an impact on the mortgage industry and the people who will lead it into the future.
