Nodifi welcomes Alex Brgudac as CRO

Mr Brgudac, who has been running a consultancy business for the past 10 months, will be tasked with focusing on strategy and distribution at Nodifi.

The platform’s new CRO has a range of experience in various senior positions in the financial services space, including as senior manager, sales and operations at IAG and – more recently – as head of partnerships at SME lender Prospa – where he spent five years educating the industry about fintechs, advocating for small businesses, building the company’s brand, and developing new and existing partnerships.  

He is also a certified master coach and holds a certification in business management and currently acts as a mentor in the finance space.

Speaking on the new role, Nodifi chief executive, Tom Caesar, said the new appointment “shows how serious Nodifi is to establish itself as a leading fintech”.  

“It should come as no surprise as to how well-respected Alex is within the industry, a profile Alex has built through his many career accomplishments,” Mr Caesar said.

“To be able to recruit someone of Alex’s experience and calibre is testament to the work Nodifi has done and the new projects on the horizon – it’s truly an exciting time for the business.

“We’re looking forward to having Alex join the team and lead the rollout of some significant new initiatives.”

Commenting on his executive position, Mr Brgudac flagged Nodifi’s recent achievements and future projects as key attractions.  

“I’ve been lucky enough to see the progression of Nodifi over several years through relationships that have been developed in previous roles,” he said.  

“What has stood out in that time is the progressive nature of the business, a fundamental aspect that has placed Nodifi where it is today.”

Mr Brgudac continued: “Nodifi is a business that continually strives for excellence and one that truly wants to make a positive impact on the broking industry.  

“What’s on the horizon for the group is incredibly exciting and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”   

The creation of the new CRO role comes as Nodifi ramps up for growth. It recently welcomed a new business development manager in Western Australia to meet the increasing demand for its services in the western state.
