The newly appointed broker ambassador will be tasked with bridging the gap between Cotality and the broker community.
Cotality has named Flint Group CEO Christian Stevens as the property data and analytics company's first broker ambassador.
In his new role, Stevens will act as the link between Cotality and the broker community, aiming to ensure that product development remains closely aligned with brokers’ needs.
Bringing more than a decade of experience in the mortgage and finance sectors, he will also support the adoption of technology.
Cotality said the appointment highlighted its commitment to the mortgage broking sector, and that the new role formed part of broader plans to co-design tools with brokers that support those in the industry.
The announcement comes as Cotality launches a new range of tools designed to help brokers manage the home lending process and reduce manual tasks, such as by streamlining preparation and settlement processes.
The suite of tools is being rolled out nationally, with support available for brokers and aggregators.
Chris Wagner, head of broker at Cotality, said the appointment is an important step in ensuring brokers remain central to the company’s innovation plans.
“The broker channel is evolving quickly. We want to ensure brokers have access to high-quality data, automation that works, and tools that support long-term client relationships,” Wagner said.
“Having Christian in this role gives brokers a stronger voice in how we build and refine our solutions. He knows what matters to brokers – and what doesn’t.”
Lisa Jennings, executive for corporate business development at Cotality, said the appointment signals a clear intent to develop solutions with brokers.
“We’re delighted to welcome Christian as our broker ambassador. His deep experience in the broker market brings a valuable perspective to our product development process,” Jennings added.
“His insights are already helping us test assumptions, validate ideas and stay focused on what brokers really need to succeed. It’s a true partnership.”
Commenting on the new role, Stevens said: “We’ve built our business on data – it’s how we give sound mortgage advice and help clients make informed property decisions.
“Cotality’s tools make that easier. The data is accurate, easy to use, and aligned to how brokers actually work – not how a platform thinks they should.
“This role is about making sure technology serves brokers, not the other way around.”
