The Australian fintech company behind Aussie Home Loans, Lendi Group, has appointed four new senior hires to its Growth & Experience team. The new additions include Paulie Savant as head of audience and content, Oz Dean as creative studio lead, Govinda Pathak as product marketing lead, and Brad Pogson as senior manager of public relations.

Savant brings over 15 years of experience to the team, having previously supported high-growth and pre-IPO scale-ups such as Koala, hipages, Superhero, and freelancerdotcom, as well as global organisations like Disney, Tata Group, and BAT. Savant’s expertise in supporting businesses through significant growth phases will be invaluable to Lendi Group’s ongoing expansion.

Dean, an award-winning creative with more than 20 years’ experience across three continents, has worked with brands ranging from Airbnb and Netflix to Heineken and the Mad Max movie franchise. His creative acumen will be instrumental in shaping Lendi Group’s brand identity and messaging.

Pathak is a tech entrepreneur with over a decade of experience driving rapid growth for startups and scaleups. She previously headed marketing for a leading CFD brokerage firm and led growth at Stake.

Pogson, a strategic PR advisor with 15 years’ experience building and protecting brand reputation, joins Lendi Group after a decade in consultancy, including as the New Zealand managing director of Porter Novelli. His experience with top tech PR firms in London will be crucial in managing Lendi Group’s public relations.

Earlier this year, Lendi Group’s Growth & Experience team welcomed Emily Lonsdale a general manager of growth. Lonsdale hired former senior marketer for DoorDash and CMO of Providoor, Michael McCash as the company’s first head of customer growth, and Adam Craig as website product manager. Maria Nenarokova, product manager journeys, is also part of the Growth Leadership team.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome Paulie, Oz, Govinda and Brad to the Growth leadership team. Their collective experience and diverse skills are essential for this next stage in the Lendi Group story. We’re investing heavily in our Aussie brand, and building a suite of incredible experiences to support the customer journey – so it’s a really exciting time for the business, and to have them on board, Lonsdale.

The Growth & Experience team at Lendi Group is currently advertising and hiring for two more roles: Digital Marketing Coordinator and Business Analyst, indicating a continued focus on strengthening its growth strategy.
