New head of broker appointed at non-bank lender

Mr Beaumont has been with Wisr since 2015 in executive leadership roles, where he developed “strong relationships”, according to the chief executive of Wisr, Andrew Goodwin.

Mr Goodwin stated: “I thank Peter for his significant tenure and contribution to Wisr’s success. Since 2015, Peter has led the build and delivery of Wisr’s highly regarded broker channel.

“Under his leadership, Wisr has delivered consistent service and strong relationships that are now the cornerstone of our broker experience.

“He has provided invaluable leadership and guidance to the next generation at Wisr. We wish him all the best.”

Mr Beaumont will be suceeded by Nicole Evans, who will be internally promoted.

Ms Evans joined Wisr in 2019 where she led Queensland’s business development manager (BDM) team.

She has most recently served as senior BDM of Queensland, the Northern Territory, the Australian Capital Territory, and NSW (regional).

According to the personal lender, Ms Evans was “instrumental” in developing its secured vehicle loan product.

Prior to her employment with Wisr, Ms Evans worked as a broker with Automotive Holdings Group for several years.

Speaking on Evans’ appointment, Mr Goodwin said: “Wisr is committed to investing in people, products and services to help our brokers support their clients and grow their businesses.

“Nicole has worked alongside Peter for nearly five years, building our broker channel and leading many successful initiatives that have improved outcomes for our 10,000-plus broker partners.

“We’re excited to welcome Nicole to the role as Wisr intends to recommence loan volume growth in H2FY24 and continue to reimagine the consumer financial journey.”

Ms Evans commented: “Our team is looking forward to driving the growth strategy for the broker network.

“We consider our broker relationships one of the most valuable assets to our business, and we will continue to empower them to expand and diversify their businesses to achieve more for their clients.”
