Nominations open to recognise ambitious young professionals making meaningful impact
NZ Adviser’s Rising Stars 2026 is now open for nominations once again to recognise ambitious young professionals who are making a meaningful impact through leadership, innovation and client excellence. Whether they are helping clients navigate complex lending scenarios, improving business processes, or embracing new technology, these promising talents are driving the mortgage industry forward.
Today’s emerging leaders are redefining what success looks like in mortgage. They are building strong client relationships, adapting to changing market conditions and contributing beyond their day-to-day responsibilities through mentorship, community involvement and initiatives that strengthen the profession.
If you know a standout mortgage professional aged 35 or under who deserves to be recognised for their achievements, now is the time to put them in the spotlight. A nomination is an opportunity to celebrate their hard work, showcase their contributions and highlight the positive impact they are making on their organisation, clients and the wider mortgage community.
Submit your nomination by Friday, 14 August, and recognise the next generation of mortgage leaders who are shaping the future of the industry.
Winners will be featured on the website this November.
