Fleet Mortgages has appointed Toni Coulson and Andy Parkes to its executive committee management team, under new director Nicola Richardson.
The lender’s leadership team now includes Coulson as director of risk and data insights and Parkes as director of operations.
Coulson joins after previously holding senior roles at Fleet’s parent company, Starling Bank.
She brings extensive experience in risk management, governance, data strategy and operational leadership.
In this new role, she will be responsible for overseeing Fleet’s risk framework while driving the use of data and insights across the business to support growth, innovation and customer outcomes.
Parkes has previously worked within the specialist lending sector, most recently as chief of staff for group operations at OneSavings Bank.
He brings experience in operational leadership, transformation and mortgage services, and will be responsible for further improving Fleet’s operational performance, service delivery and scalability.
The appointments are part of Fleet’s new executive committee, put together by Richardson since he took on the role of managing director earlier this year.
The full executive committee consists of Steve Cox, Mark Elliott, Chris Bowers, Diane Mitchell, Nick Brown and Kim Beaven.
Commenting on the appointments, Richardson said: “Since becoming Managing Director earlier this year, one of my priorities has been to ensure Fleet has the right leadership structure in place to support the next phase of our development.”
“Toni and Andy are highly experienced leaders who bring complementary skills across risk, data, operations and business transformation. Together with the wider Executive Committee, they will play a key role in helping us achieve our strategic ambitions, continue to invest in our proposition and technology, and ensure we remain focused on delivering excellent results for advisers and their landlord clients.”
