FirstMac Home Loans’ Darren McLeod, Choice Home Loans principal Marco Meloni, DLV Finance Solutions principal Cynthia Grisbrook and Vow’s chief executive Tim Brown were all appointed to the board.
Speaking about the appointments, MFAA chairman Martin leedham said the industry body was delighted to be adding experienced professionals to the national board.
“It is important we have a very strong board as we as an industry will deal with a number of significant regulatory and market challenges to the mortgage and finance sector over the next few years”, Mr Leedham said.
The new board members share extensive experience in the mortgage and finance industry and the MFAA.
Darren McLeod has more than 15 years of experience in the industry, having worked initially for Adelaide Bank and has recently been appointed chairman of the MFAA’s Committee in Mortgage Management.
Marco Meloni started his finance career at Bankwest in 1979 where he worked until 1994 when he became a mortgage broker with Choice Home Loans.
Mr Meloni later became principal and owner of Choice, as well as holding a range of positions in the MFAA’s Western Australian chapter.
Cynthia Grisbrook co-founded DLV Finance in 2000 after starting her finance career as a graduate trainee at the ANZ Bank, where she worked in a variety of positions and in a range of areas, including treasury and wholesale banking.
Tim Brown was appointed in 2010 as chief executive of Vow Financial – winner of the Wholesale Aggregator/Originator of the Year at the 2012 MFAA Excellence Awards – after a five-year stint at Macquarie Bank and in previous positions in the private sector, including at LJ Hooker, Home Loans, Suncorp Bank and Aussie Home Loans.
