Fleet Mortgages has appointed Tony Coulson and Andy Parkes to the Executive Committee management team, under new managing director Nicola Richardson.
The lender’s leadership team now includes Coulson as director of risk and data insights and Parks as director of operations.
Coulson joins having previously held senior roles at Fleet’s parent company, Starling Bank.
She has extensive experience in risk management, governance, data strategy and operational leadership.
In this new role, she is responsible for overseeing the fleet risk framework while increasing the use of data and insights across the business to support growth, innovation and customer outcomes.
Parkes has previously worked in the specialist lending sector, most recently as Chief of Staff, Group Operations, at OneSavings Bank.
He has experience in operational leadership, transformation and mortgage servicing, and will be responsible for enhancing the fleet’s operational performance, service delivery and scalability.
The appointments form part of Fleet’s new executive committee that Richardson has assembled since taking over as managing director earlier this year.
The full Executive Committee includes Steve Cox, Mark Elliott, Chris Powers, Diane Mitchell, Nick Brown and Kim Biven.
Commenting on the appointments, Richardson says: “Since becoming Managing Director earlier this year, one of my priorities has been ensuring the fleet has the right leadership structure to support the next stage of our development.”
“Tony and Andy are highly experienced leaders with complementary skills in the areas of risk, data, operations and business transformation. They, along with the wider Executive Committee, will play a key role in helping us achieve our strategic ambitions, continue to invest in our offering and technology, and ensure we remain focused on delivering excellent outcomes for advisors and angel clients.”
