Lendi Group hires new data GM

Lendi Group has appointed Jade Clarke (pictured), the founder and former head of Westpac DataX, as its general manager of data.

Clarke brings a wealth of experience in data, financial services, public policy, and business transformation to Lendi Group. Her career of over two decades also includes senior roles at the Australian Banking Association and NSW Land and Housing Corporation.

The Australian fintech said the creation of the new role underscores its commitment to remaining at the cutting edge of technology, with a strong focus on data and the advancement of its artificial intelligence and automation initiatives.

Clarke’s role is deemed essential for shaping the company’s internal functions within the rapidly evolving AI-driven market. Her appointment also coincides with Lendi Group’s announcement to launch two AI initiatives this year, aimed at significantly improving efficiency and service quality.

“We are deeply focused on remaining at the helm of innovation that will ensure all home loan customers have the simplest property journey possible, including timely access to best suited products, rates as well as expert brokers,” said Travis Tyler, chief product officer at Lendi Group.

“With a wealth of experience in data led businesses, Jade will lead the charge in further empowering our vision of innovation, focused on providing brokers with the knowledge and tools they need to provide unparalleled service.”

Clarke said that as a strong advocate for data led product innovation, she was excited to be joining an organisation which aligns to her values and vision of the data-driven future.

“With over 1 million customers who have already used Lendi technology for their home loan, and 1,300 brokers across both Aussie and Lendi now powered by a best-in-breed broker platform, there are exciting opportunities to leverage data, innovate and deliver ongoing value to our customers and brokers, embedding even better experiences across the mortgage industry,” she said.
