Molo Appoints Lynne French as COO

Molo has appointed Lynne French as its new chief operations officer (COO), a newly created role at the lender. French brings operational expertise from across the mortgage sector, having most recently served as director of secured lending operations at Chetwood Bank, where she oversaw both CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries and Moda Mortgages.

French has also held senior roles at Masthaven Bank, Magellan Home Loans, and Fleet Mortgages. At Molo, she will be responsible for scaling the company’s operational platform to support demand for its products and maintaining a high level of service for brokers and their clients. French will also play a key role in maximising Molo’s recent strategic partnerships with OMS and LMS.

Her appointment comes as Molo continues to strengthen its senior team, with Martin Sims, distribution director, now joining the leadership group. The leadership team is led by Matt Kimber, CEO of Molo and ColCap UK, 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).

French stated that her focus will be on scaling operations and strengthening delivery to meet the needs of broker partners.
