Paradigm has announced three key senior appointments to its team.
Paradigm has appointed Louise Weiss (pictured) as its new head of sales, supporting its growth strategy across mortgages, protection and compliance.
Louise will be responsible for the strategic direction of membership growth across mortgage and protection accounts, as well as compliance services.
As part of the senior leadership team, she will focus on delivering growth and income targets, leading partnership managers and business development directors, and identifying new firms to join the Paradigm group.
She will also help shape adviser engagement strategy, provide market insight to the leadership team and represent the business at a senior level across the industry.
Louise joins from Bank of Ireland UK, where she was national partnership manager, helping to shape intermediary strategy, grow market share and manage key partner relationships.
Louise has also led strategic initiatives, including a partnership with UK Business Mentoring, and actively supports talent development through mentoring programmes such as Working in Mortgages.
Paradigm has also announced the promotion of two long-standing team members.
Tom Hunt moves into the newly-created role of commercial director from business development director.
In his new role, Tom will focus on driving commercial performance, strengthening lender and partner relationships, and supporting the continued evolution of the group’s proposition.
Daniel Davenport has also been appointed to the role of business insights and team manager. Having been with the business for almost ten years, Dan will continue to oversee business performance analytics for Paradigm as well as line-managing a number of individuals involved in commissions, management information and protection support services.
Richard Howes, managing director of Paradigm Mortgage Services, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Louise to Paradigm and to promote both Tom and Daniel, three appointments that reflect both the strength of our business and our ambitions for continued growth.
“Louise brings a strong track record across distribution, partnerships and proposition development, and her leadership will be key as we continue to evolve our mortgage, protection and compliance offering. Tom’s expanded role recognises the impact he has already made within the business and the important part he will play in shaping our commercial strategy going forward.
“These changes further strengthen our senior leadership team and support our focus on growing our presence across the market, deepening our partner relationships and making full use of the wider capabilities within the whole Group.”
Louise Weiss, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have joined Paradigm Mortgage Services at such an exciting time for the business. I look forward to working closely with our members, partners and my new colleagues to build on the strong foundations already in place and help drive the next phase of growth.”
Tom Hunt added: “I’m proud to take on the role of commercial director and to continue working with the team to build on Paradigm’s success and deliver further value for our members and partners.”
