Mr D’Souza, who began his new position this month, will now lead, manage, and recruit for the private lender’s sales network and team, including by broadening its aggregator partnerships and bringing Semper Secured onto the lender panels of major broker groups.
As CSO, he will be expected to support capital partners, investors, broker partners, and direct clients to deliver tailored finance and investments.
Mr D’Souza has more than 20 years of experience in banking and finance, having been a bank manager at St.George and Westpac, a digital banking manager for Suncorp, and a former BDM at Prime Capital.
He was most recently the director of Commercial Capital Consulting, where he was a capital adviser and arranger for property investors and developers.
He also holds a Cert IV and Diploma in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking) and a Cert IV and Diploma in Business Management.
In a statement, Semper Secured welcomed the new leader to its team, stating: “Neil has an established relationship with Semper, having previously taken advantage of our white label warehouse funding product.
“Neil will prove an excellent addition to Semper’s already highly experienced team, with 20-plus years in banking and finance, including tenure at St.George, Westpac and Suncorp.
“He is an experienced team leader with a broad array of finance experience including retail lending, small business and commercial finance, and has 10 years of operating in the ever-growing private credit space where he settled over $2 billion in loans.”
The lender added that he would “continue to upskill in his position as CSO with Semper”.
