After serving as the Senior Relationship Manager of Corporate and Institutional Banking at the Bank of Sydney, and following a multi-decade career as a self-employed finance broker and franchise owner, I’ve taken on a new challenge at Yellow Brick Road. Here, my role center’s around managing the performance of the YBR broker network and identifying growth opportunities to ensure our network’s continued success.
My journey in the finance industry began in 1987 with the Westpac Banking Corporation. Within a decade, I was recognised with several awards, including “The General Managers Excellence Award” in 1995.
In 1997, I took a significant step by acquiring my first Mortgage Choice franchise, soon after earning the title of “Franchisee of the Year”. With dedication and commitment, I expanded the branch network, establishing multiple Mortgage Choice franchises across Sydney. This effort was acknowledged in 2003 when I was named “Business Person of the Year” by peers in the South West Region of Sydney.
More recognition followed, with another “Franchisee of the Year (NSW/ACT)” title at the Franchise Council Awards in 2005. After a successful period with Mortgage Choice, I ventured into setting up a finance business in South-Western Sydney, operating it for five years. This venture allowed me to continue my legacy of offering tailored advice to numerous clients. Many of those who consulted me during my early years in Liverpool remain loyal clients.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to build and maintain a diverse clientele, from commercial, industrial, and residential property investors to developers, financiers, and first home buyers. My extensive experience, combined with a client-centric approach, enables clients to find optimal solutions for their financial and insurance needs. Every client, regardless of their size, receives my full attention and care.
My qualifications include a Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking, a Diploma in Financial Planning, and an Associate Membership of the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA). I also hold the position of a Justice of the Peace.
Outside of work, I cherish being an active member of my local Cricket Team and the Greek Associate of NSW, showcasing my dedication to community involvement and cultural heritage.
