He takes on expanded role to enhance partnerships and broker engagement
Self-employed specialist lender RedZed has appointed Nathan Taddeo (pictured above) as general manager of sales and strategic partnerships, broadening his role to include oversight of the lender’s aggregator relationships.
Taddeo, who has led RedZed’s sales strategy and operations since October 2024, currently manages a team of business development managers (BDMs) and direct sales managers. His expanded role will focus on strengthening relationships with aggregators, a key channel for the lender’s self-employed customer base.
“I’m excited to work with our aggregator partners,” Taddeo said. “I look forward to building on the well-established aggregator partnerships already in place, leveraging them to support broker success while driving sustainable growth for RedZed.”
With experience as a mortgage broker serving self-employed clients and a background in various aggregation groups, Taddeo brings industry insight to the role. He aims to support RedZed’s aggregator partners in helping brokers access self-employed lending and explore opportunities in commercial finance.
“Nathan is the perfect person to manage our aggregator relationships,” said Natalie Irvine, chief sales and marketing officer at RedZed. “He is a highly experienced finance professional who takes great pride in his work, operates with integrity, and excels at building relationships and driving meaningful change. We’re excited to see what he will accomplish in this role — for our aggregator partners, their members and our business.”
“We’re here to support brokers, and there is enormous potential in the commercial space — we want to help our broker partners capitalise on it. Expanding our commercial team led by our experienced national commercial BDM, Craig Stuart, will allow us to provide greater support to brokers already working in this space as well as those looking to diversify.”
Founded in 2006, RedZed has lent over $10 billion to more than 25,000 self-employed Australians through residential, commercial, and SMSF finance, supporting small business owners in achieving their financial goals.
RedZed has recently implemented several product and policy enhancements, including lower rates, higher maximum loan-to-value ratios (LVRs), streamlined living expense verification, and updates to its commercial vacant land and tax debt policies – initiatives that aim to provide brokers with more flexible lending products while supporting RedZed’s long-term growth.
