A broker group has welcomed a new chief financial officer to its executive team, six months after the former officer took over as CEO.
Ian Parkes will take on the position at Mortgage Choice as of this week, having most recently held the same position at Homeloans Limited.
The board thanked John Stevenson, who has been acting in the position since now CEO Susan Mitchell left her nine-year tenure in the role back in April. He will now continue in his role as financial controller.
Parkes brings more than 20 years’ experience in the banking and financial services industry to the position, having held a number of senior finance roles at BT Financial Group, Westpac and St George.
In his role at Homeloans, he led the finance function with responsibility for all external and ASX reporting, financial control and investor relations. He was also involved with the merger with Resimac.
Mitchell welcomed Parkes, saying his proven expertise in financial services will be a valuable addition to the executive team.
“I am delighted Mr Parkes has undertaken this key appointment with Mortgage Choice as we continue to execute our business strategy, grow settlement volumes over the medium to long term and drive operational efficiencies,” she added.
