Founded in 2013, the lending startup employs over 350 staff across home loan specialists, product and engineering. Cobb’s appointment is part of the company shifting its focus towards the next stage of development.
David Hyman, managing director and co-founder of Lendi, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome someone of Zara’s calibre to the Lendi family. Our priority is encouraging everyday Australians to make better informed decisions on one of their biggest living expenses – their home loans.
Cobb added: “More Australians are looking to digital alternatives in lieu of the traditional mortgage broking process. People want options and transparency without compromising on time or convenience. Lendi has the perfect balance of human expertise and smart technology, allowing people to find a better deal.
“It’s such an exciting time to join the Lendi business and I look forward to playing a key role in continuing Lendi’s upward trajectory.”
