In this episode of New Broker, we speak with Andrea (Ange) McNaughton, managing director of Loan Market Razor. After a decade as a high-level executive at LMG, McNaughton made the pivot from corporate leadership to business ownership.
While she initially set out to be a traditional broker, McNaughton quickly realised that her strengths lay in building the business, not the bank files. She joins host Annie Kane to share why she decided to “back herself” as a non-writing director and how she is redefining what success looks like for a new entrant in the 2026 market.
Tune in to find out:
- What being a non-loan-writing member of the broking industry entails.
- How she’s using her corporate background to implement AI and streamline the “back office” engine room.
- Why she believes new brokers should never start completely alone.
And much more!
