Introduction of two new leadership positions is part of lender’s strategy to bolster growth and strengthen broker relationships
Non-bank lender Assetline Capital has introduced two new leadership positions, with Royden D’Vaz (pictured above left) having been appointed general manager of distribution and partnerships and Jason Lucas (pictured above right) taking on the role of head of sales for commercial lending.
The newly created roles are intended to support Assetline Capital’s ongoing expansion and enhance its commitment to brokers within the non-bank lending sector.
“In line with our commitment to providing the best lending solutions to our brokers, we are proud to introduce these two roles to Assetline Capital,” said Nick Raphaely, co-chief executive at AltX Group.
“Assetline Capital has seen substantial growth in the past financial year, achieving a 57% increase in total loan settlements, including a 60% increase in bridging loan settlements. These strategic roles are vital to our growth and commitment to providing exceptional service to our brokers and borrowers.”
In his new role, D’Vaz will focus on developing and nurturing both existing and new broker partnerships, as well as overseeing product distribution across Australia.
“Developing strong broker partnerships is at the core of what we do at Assetline,” D’Vaz said. “We hugely value our relationships with our brokers and aggregator partners, and I look forward to engaging with them and helping them leverage Assetline Capital’s range of lending solutions.”
Lucas, who was previously Queensland state manager, will manage commercial loan origination and oversee Assetline’s construction and short-term products in his new role.
“Since joining Assetline Capital in 2020, I’ve seen the brand grow from strength to strength in the commercial lending space,” Lucas said. “In just one year, we’ve opened a Queensland office, expanded our short-term product offerings, and introduced a $1 million to $5 million construction product to the market. I’m excited to continue this success and offer more commercial lending solutions to our brokers.”
