Non-bank lender boosts aggregator ties and product depth with fresh hires.
Sydney-based non-bank lender Resimac on Wednesday (4 February) announced it had made four senior hires as it marks its 40th anniversary.
The moves aim to sharpen capabilities across mortgages, asset and equipment finance, and secured business lending, with a clear emphasis on channel partnerships and regional support.
Mimi Jawad has stepped into the new role of national sales manager for aggregation and partnerships.
Her responsibilities include managing ties with aggregator networks while fostering deeper connections that span Resimac’s mortgage and asset finance operations.
The company said Jawad has a lengthy track record in lender relationships and expanding broker channels and that the hire represented Resimac’s ongoing expansion in the third-party channel.
General manager of distribution and sales, John Athanas, said the personnel additions aligned with the company’s longer-term objectives around market presence and client service.
“Strengthening our sales and product teams shows our commitment to giving brokers and customers a more diversified and responsive lending experience,” he said.
“These appointments help us grow, build stronger partnerships and continue delivering meaningful value to the market.”
The company has also brought on Alison Darling and Daniel Coolee as business development managers covering the NSW and ACT region.
The lender said their extensive non-bank backgrounds positioned them to address practical demands in specialised lending situations.
Resimac further announced Michael Stavroulakis as the new head of product for asset & equipment finance and secured business lending.
Drawing from his time in the asset sector and direct broker experience, the company said he would work to expand options in shorter-term, security-backed products.
Athanas connected the appointments to core operational goals, underscoring the priority placed on established distribution networks.
“Our broker and aggregator partners are central to our business. That’s why we’re focused on delivering practical solutions, greater product choice, faster turnaround times and giving brokers a more connected experience across our lending solutions,” Athanas said.
The hires come as Resimac’s settlement volumes climb, with home loans rising 14 per cent to $4.9 billion and asset finance up 13 per cent in the last financial year, reflecting broader non-bank momentum.
Non-banks, including Resimac, drove 25.3 per cent mortgage growth in 2025 – against the majors’ 3.9 per cent – gaining share in areas like alternative documentation and commercial deals as traditional lenders adopt increasingly cautious stances.
Resimac’s asset portfolio has also expanded, reaching $1.4 billion organically and $2.5 billion, including its Westpac auto acquisition.
