Molo Appoints Lynne French as Chief Operations Officer

Specialist lender Molo has appointed Lynne French as its new chief operations officer (COO). The appointment comes as Molo continues to expand its operations and distribution channels.

French will be responsible for scaling Molo’s operational platform to support growing demand and for maximising strategic partnerships with One Mortgage System (OMS) and LMS. Her most recent role was director of secured lending operations at Chetwood Bank, where she oversaw both CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries and ModaMortgages.

French brings extensive experience in the specialist lending sector, having previously held senior positions at Masthaven Bank, Magellan Home Loans, and Fleet Mortgages.

Molo’s leadership team is led by CEO Matt Kimber and includes Ryan Benton (finance director), Paolo Tanca (UK treasurer), Rebecca Connor (chief technology officer), Julie Eastty (head of compliance), Roy Armitage (director of servicing), and Sharon Sohal (head of people).

The appointment of French is part of Molo’s strategy to strengthen its executive team and support its growth plans in the UK property lending market.
