“Working within the banking and mortgage broking sector for over 20 years, I have an intimate understanding of the challenges we face as an industry, and will bring my expertise, experience and passion to extend the incredible leadership shown by the MFAA and continue to represent the interests of our members to industry and the broader community.”
Commenting on her role, Ms Maditianos said: “Working with mortgage and finance brokers to realise their potential is something I am passionate about and committed to, this commitment to brokers and our industry continues as I join the MFAA in the role of State Manager for Victoria and Tasmania.
