Mr Clyne commented on his appointment: “It’s a great opportunity to join the Loan Market Corporate team and contribute to the growth trajectory of the network members.
“Loan Market is reshaping how brokers service their customers and build their businesses.
“With MyCRM driving their productivity and doing the heavy lifting on compliance, and leads coming in through the door via automated marketing and their affiliation with Ray White, Loan Market brokers are able to spend more time honing their customer experience — something that’s demonstrated in the brand’s +97 Net Promoter Score.”
Group executive appointed
Mr Clyne’s appointment followed the appointment of Cherie Bell to the aggregator’s executive team to the new role of group executive finance (CFO) & corporate strategy.
Ms Bell brought over two decades of experience in the financial sector across Australia and the UK at Bank of Queensland, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, and EY, where she drove strategy, financial analysis, and business performance.
She was most recently general manager, investor relations & integration at Bank of Queensland.
Ms Bell has been tasked with expanding LMG’s finance and strategy capability to drive insight and “unlock more revenue opportunities for brokers”.
Ms Bell commented: “I’m excited to join the team at LMG and to be part of an ambitious business at such an important time in the company’s history.”
