Nimo aligns leadership team for growth

Leann Jones will head up Nimo Industries as the Melbourne fintech signals plans to capture a bigger portion of the small and medium-sized lenders market.

Nimo is a SaaS platform that makes digital lending simple and has disrupted the market with its delivery of same day lending, from enquiry to settlement.

Co-Founder and Executive Director of Nimo, Leann leverages her background in executive leadership and organisational transformation with experience in lending and financial services, to focus full-time on facilitating growth at Nimo as Chief Executive Officer.

Leann said, “After working and consulting in the banking sector and seeing how difficult it was for lenders to digitise processes due to internal complexity, dated legacy systems and overly complicated digital solutions, I knew there had to be an easier way.

“With lateral thinking, innovative architecture and modern code and technology, the digital lending concept is now a business reality that has recently seen exceptional change and growth.

“I’m excited to turn all of my focus to Nimo at this time, to continue to deliver a great service to our customers and in turn to their customers, to simplify the origination journey, and support lenders in their digital transformation,” she said.

The uptake of digitising lending in Australia is rapidly gaining pace with decommissioning of legacy systems coupled with customer demand.

“The option of a digital lending experience should no longer be the exception, it should be the norm,” said Leann.

“We believe Nimo is well-placed to continue its growth as a nimble provider of a simple solution that lenders can adopt,” she said.

Previous Nimo CEO Peter Jones will take the lead in product strategy and development to deliver solutions that are impactful and easy-to-use, and will continue to work directly with lenders.
