Jayden De Zilwa has stepped into the new role which was created specifically to connect with Aussie brokers.
In the Melbourne-based position, De Zilwa will work alongside Stryd’s head of sales, Doug Crowley, and head of customer success Stefanie De Poi to expand the delivery of digital solutions.
De Zilwa brings four years of sales and marketing experience to the role, previously working in the leisure industry. This included the handling of digital expansion.
The account executive role at Stryd will focus on deepening broker engagement with the platform and helping to create a more efficient and transparent mortgage process.
“I am a big believer in digital solutions and the power of technology to improve productivity for businesses,” De Zilwa said.
“During my time in the leisure industry, I had daily conversations with people about their life goals, including their property journey. I saw how the trusted relationship between borrower and broker is foundational for financial wellbeing, which in turn has a positive impact on physical and mental health.”
Ruth Hatherley, CEO and founder of Stryd, said De Zilwa is a “perfect fit” for the company and is excited for further engagement with brokers.
Stryd was launched back in 2022 and integrates Consumer Data Right (CDR) information with a configurable lender product, credit and pricing policies to provide personalised home loans and pricing offers in real time.
The product, available to lenders and aggregators, also automates the categorisation of CDR data, enabling a credit confidence score and identifying product suitability as customer data is being collected.
This latest appointment follows a series of expansions for the company.
August 2024 saw Moneycatcha secure $1.5 million in funding to engage market opportunities following the CDR reset.
Hatherley added: “Mortgage brokers now face competition from digital-first solutions aimed directly at borrowers. Therefore, it is even more crucial to maximise the value brokers offer, combining face-to-face relationships, competitive interest rates, convenience and, most importantly, trust.”
