Prior to joining Velocity, Michael co founded a fintech consulting firm, Maxwell & Graves Solutions, and was responsible for building and leading Collections & Recovery at Prosper Marketplace. He has served on RMAI committees since 2020, consistently attended conferences since at least 2014, and has contributed towards webinars, white papers and panels.
Of his involvement in the industry, Michael said, “I am an enthusiastic member of, and believer in, the Fintech Lending ecosystem, which Debt Buyers, Agencies, Law Firms, and associated Service Providers are an integral part of. Now within my role at Velocity, I can further extend my commitment to both the Fintech and Receivables Management space.”
Mark Ravanesi is coming onto the RMAI Board of Directors for 2025, in the certified third-party collection agency seat. He is the CEO of TrueAccord. His journey in the industry began on the phones as a collector in 1998. Over the next decade and a half, he held leadership roles with major originating creditors across the U.S. and internationally. At TrueAccord, his focus has been on investing in the next generation of receivables management leaders, driving innovation, delivering for clients, and advocating for fair practices at the consumer, state, and federal levels.
Of his goals as a board member, Mark said he would focus on “championing new technologies and innovative practices, strengthening RMAI’s voice at both federal and state levels, and promoting the development and delivery of resources.”
Andrew Roskam has been re-elected to continue serving on the RMAI Board of Directors, in a certified debt-buyer seat.

Andrew said of his Board involvement, “I have thoroughly enjoyed representing the association over the past two years, and I look forward to continuing to advocate for our membership over the next two years and beyond.”
As the RMAI Board of Directors moves into 2025, they remain committed to building strong relationships with member companies, fostering connections among members, and delivering the value expected from RMAI. RMAI will remain focused on robust advocacy at both the state and federal levels. This is especially critical as the industry navigates uncertainties with newly elected officials, continuing to operate in an increasingly stringent regulatory business environment. RMAI will also continue to enhance the certification program and elevate standards, most recently demonstrated by requiring all Associate Debt Buyers who joined RMAI on or after January 1, 2024, to obtain certification. RMAI also prioritizes education and has scheduled a CLE webinar series for 2025, providing value and support for members.
“We at RMAI look forward to continue working on behalf of the industry in 2025,” said Mike Becker, RMAI Executive Director. “We’ve valued the opportunity to host more than 1,500 industry representatives here in Las Vegas, and look forward to gathering again at the 2025 Executive Summit on August 5-7, at the Woodstock Inn & Resort in Woodstock, VT.”
