HomeStart, a government-backed organisation that provides home loans to South Australians, has boosted its executive team with the appointment of Braden Naylor as chief financial officer.
Naylor’s appointment follows CFO Andrew Mills’ promotion to HomeStart’s CEO.
Naylor joins HomeStart from Renewal SA, where he had been finance director for more than five years. His career spans more than two decades in senior finance, commercial, and strategy roles within government and major utilities, including a key role in property and infrastructure development.
Mills said Braden brought a wealth of experience in both finance and property.
“His expertise will be invaluable as HomeStart seeks to expand its reach to help more South Australians into their own home,” Mills said. “Sound financial management underpins our reputation as a responsible lender and prudent financial manager, which continues to deliver significant returns to the South Australian community and government.”
A qualified accountant, Braden is a fellow and divisional councillor with peak body CPA Australia. He’s also chair of the board of management of HomePlace Living Supports, a not-for-profit provider of high-quality accommodation and support to people with a disability.
