ISCOVER
The newly expanded role comes as the self-employed lender ramps up its commercial offering.
Self-employed lending specialist RedZed has announced the appointment of Nathan Taddeo as general manager of sales and strategic partnerships to oversee the non-bank’s aggregator relationships.
Taddeo joined RedZed last year (October 2024) as general manager of sales, having most recently worked at Finspo as chief lending officer.
Effective immediately, the newly expanded role will see Taddeo also support RedZed’s aggregator partners while helping brokers tap into the self-employed lending market and diversify into commercial finance.
The lender cited the significant experience Taddeo brings to the role as a former broker and past member of various aggregation groups.
Natalie Irvine, RedZed chief sales and marketing officer, said Taddeo was the “perfect person” to manage the lender’s aggregator relationships.
“He is a highly experienced finance professional who takes great pride in his work, operates with integrity, and excels at building relationships and driving meaningful change,” Irvine said.
“We’re excited to see what he will accomplish in this role – for our aggregator partners, their members and our business.”
Taddeo said he was excited to take on the expanded role and work with RedZed’s aggregator partners.
“At RedZed, we take great pride in our strong relationship with the broking community, and aggregators play a crucial role in maintaining and strengthening this connection,” Taddeo said.
“I look forward to building on the well-established aggregator partnerships already in place, leveraging them to support broker success while driving sustainable growth for RedZed.”
Focus on commercial
Meanwhile, the self-employed lending specialist has also said that it is working to enhance its product mix, with plans to expand both its commercial BDM team and commercial offering.
RedZed said these enhancements will build on the lender’s recent rate cuts and product enhancements, including higher maximum LVRs, streamlined living expense verification, an updated commercial vacant land policy, and changes to its ATO default and debt policy.
“We’re here to support brokers, and there is enormous potential in the commercial space – we want to help our broker partners capitalise on it,” Irvine said.
“Expanding our commercial team led by our experienced national commercial BDM, Craig Stuart, will allow us to provide greater support to brokers already working in this space as well as those looking to diversify.”
These plans build on several recent announcements from the lender including the launch of a commercial self-managed super fund (SMSF) property loan and a partnership with tech services provider NextGen.
