Eilis O'Callaghan, a former BDM at Buyers Choice Home Loan Advisory, will commence her new role with Nectar next week.
In her new position, she will mainly focus on broker development and growth, while also seeking to bring in new initiatives and further streamline processes within the group.
Her position in Victoria is set to help the broker group establish a presence in the state and provide local hands-on support to brokers based in the area.
She will also be tasked with meeting new and current brokers nationwide to provide insights and expertise.
Ms O'Callaghan has worked in the broking industry for more than 17 years, having held roles at AFG, PLAN and Buyers Choice and has experience assisting brokers to build their businesses through training, coaching and business planning.
Nectar general manager Stephen Harris highlighted the importance of finding the right person with the “experience and expertise needed” for that particular role.
“It was equally important that we found someone who was the right cultural fit,” he said.
“At Nectar, we enjoy an extremely collaborative environment, with brokers and head office staff alike working alongside one another to improve outcomes.
“I’m certain that Eilis will flourish at Nectar. She has an exceptional track record and is widely respected within the industry. We can’t wait to see what she brings to the table.”
Ms O'Callaghan commented she was “really excited to meet with and be a part of the growing Nectar team” and start contributing.
She added that she was looking forward to reaching out to brokers considering alternative industry offerings: “I’d really like to speak to any brokers open to new opportunities.
“I love working with and helping develop all broking businesses, both those pursuing growth and higher settlement volumes, and brokers who are simply searching for a better work/life balance and ticking off other goals.”
Last year, Nectar doubled its monthly settlement figures over the span of 11 months, closing out August 2021 with a figure of $207 million in monthly settlements across 367 clients.
In comparison, its brokers were settling $100 million in loans as of September 2020.
