In his new role, Lemon will now oversee the national BDM team, which includes three new business development managers (BDMs):
- MyAnh Nguyen – BDM, Victoria. With more than seven years’ lending experience, Nguyen was recently the operations manager at Moorabbin-based brokerage MoneyCat Finance and had previously been a mortgage broker herself. She joined MA Money on 16 September.
- Kristina Barac – BDM, Victoria. With over 15 years in the finance industry, including most recently as BDM at Citi, Barac has experience supporting brokers in residential, commercial, and SMSF lending and has previously worked in credit assessment. She joined on 17 September.
- Jamie Hall – BDM, Queensland. The new Queensland BDM has more than 25 years of experience in both commercial and residential lending (as well as development and bridging finance) and joins MA Money from La Trobe Financial, where was the strategic senior manager, client partnerships. He joined MA Money on 2 September.
In his new role - which he started on 12 September - Lemon will oversee the national BDM team and continue to expand MA Money’s presence in the market and strengthen broker relationships.
The non-bank said that, since joining the lender earlier this year, Lemon’s leadership has been “driving business growth and improving the overall team performance”.
Commenting on his new position, Lemon said: “I am proud to lead this hugely talented team as we pursue ambitious growth plans for MA Money.
“With our focus on delivering outstanding service and innovative lending solutions for brokers nationwide, I am looking forward to our team achieving even greater success together.”
The changes to the sales team come as MA Money grows and seeks to further strengthen its offering to brokers around Australia.
MA Money has been rapidly growing its team in the past year, having recently welcomed Gabrielle Aoun to the newly created role of head of partnerships (focusing on building aggregator partnerships) and three other BDMs: Tannaz Mahrang (Queensland), Dean Cherry (Victoria), and Brad Fletcher (Western Australia).
In March, it revealed it had surpassed the $1 billion settlement milestone, after seeing a 244 per cent increase in its loan book in the calendar year 2023.
