Most recently serving as a VP with JP Morgan Chase & Co., she brings over 30 years of industry experience to her new position with CV.

Originally from Northern Kentucky, DeVasto is returning back to her home state from Jacksonville, Florida, where she served for many years with JP Morgan Chase & Co. Most recently, DeVasto served as the VP of Project Management – Mortgage Operations and National Sales Administration. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Maryville University in St. Louis, MO, and is the recipient of numerous leadership and service awards. DeVasto’s extensive experience in mortgage banking sales, operations, administration and project management are a much welcomed addition to the staff of Community Ventures as the President of Lending.
