She has worked in the third-party space for the last 20 years, with 15 years specifically within non-bank lending. Prior to joining ORDE in April, she was regional manager for Queensland and NSW at RedZed and spent eight years at Pepper Money, where she was regional manager for Queensland/South Australia/Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
- Pasquale Caia has been appointed state manager for Victoria/Tasmania. He has spent the last 20 years within the third-party and non-bank sectors, including 10 years at Pepper Money, where he was Victorian state growth manager. He joined ORDE Financial in April 2024.
- Peter Burkhart has been welcomed as the state manager for NSW/ACT. He has more than 25 years of financial services experience, including time spent in funding, credit, and as a broker. Before joining ORDE in November 2022 as senior business development manager, he spent three years at RedZed, where he played a key role in supporting brokers across both Queensland and NSW.
The lender said it had created the three state manager positions as part of its ongoing commitment to providing brokers across the country with exceptional service.
The state managers will be responsible for working with their teams to ensure that all brokers receive the same high standards of end-to-end service and support, including help with workshopping deals and submitting applications.
Speaking of the promotions, Lee Prior, director of distribution at ORDE Financial, said: “It’s core to ORDE’s proposition to give our brokers consistently exceptional service from start to finish, across all deal profiles, all of the time.
“ORDE has been Australia’s fastest growing non-bank lender for the last three years, settling in excess of $5 billion in loans.
“Leading on the delivery of new performance benchmarks to brokers, including by leveraging the expertise and leadership of our people, is how we will continue to provide an experience that secures the ongoing support of the broker community.”
Noting the collective experience of the three state managers, he said: “Dianne, Pasquale and Peter have well and truly earned their appointments as state managers. They each have so much to offer to ORDE and our brokers, not just knowledge and experience, but also team leadership, can-do attitudes and passion for the industry. I can’t wait to see the benefits they deliver to our brokers.”
The three new state managers said they were looking forward to their new positions and offered brokers their top advice.
Robinson said: “Call your ORDE BDM whenever you need expert support to reach a solution, especially if you’re new to non-bank lending. We provide the flexible product and policy options, industry knowledge, and direct access to credit to help you get you the answers you need.”
Caia said: “Make sure you’ve explored all your options by calling ORDE. As a leading non-bank, we can help you get to a yes more often, for more customers. We’ve got one of the broadest product ranges on the market, plus a national team of BDMs, RMs and credit analysts that are ready to work directly with you.”
Burkhart said: “Remember that so much is possible when you have ORDE in your corner. We have the product range to help you grow and diversify, including Residential, Commercial, SMSF and Construction, available with Alt Doc options and no clawback. And we provide all the support you need to succeed, with everyone from your dedicated BDM and relationship manager to our head of credit and even our managing directors ready to play an active role in getting you a solution.”
