Kevin Palmer is senior vice president and head of Freddie Mac Multifamily, leading all aspects of the division’s efforts to provide stability, liquidity and affordability throughout the rental housing market.

Palmer holds an MBA in Finance from Virginia Tech and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Weber State University.
