Internal hire takes the helm

Non-bank lender Resimac has announced that Pete Lirantzis will commence his role as new chief executive from 30 April.
Lirantzis, who current acts as chief strategy, product and operating officer, will take over from interim chief executive Susan Hansen.
His appointment was officially announced in December 2024.
Lirantzis has a deep background in banking, finance, telecommunications and insurance.
Prior to joining Resimac, he served as chief executive of Thorn Group, a commercial and consumer finance company, which sold its commercial business to Resimac in mid-2023.
He has also held senior roles at Splitpay – a UK based fintech start-up – and Humm Group, as well as serving as a non-executive director for several other start-ups.
Lirantzis’ immediate focus will be “to ensure that we are adaptable and more responsive to the needs of our brokers and customers”, he said in a statement. “We’ll do this though the continued adoption of AI, and ongoing digital transformation of the broker and customer experience.”
Susan Hansen will remain as a non-executive director of Resimac.
