BiiGGA appoints new CCO ahead of product launch

SME lender BiiGGA has appointed a new chief commercial officer as it seeks to expand its range and launch a new lending product to the market.

Lee Slattery will take the helm as chief commercial officer (CCO), leading the Attvest-backed lender’s end-to-end commercial strategy, from its broker, aggregator, and business development manager strategy to marketing and customer experience responsibilities.

Slattery brings more than two decades of commercial leadership across non-bank lending, banking, and lending technology, including senior roles with Latitude Financial Services, QBANK, Funding.com.au, Westpac, and St. George.

Most recently, he served as general manager at lending software company finPOWER and founded the advisory practice Lend & Scale.

 
 

The appointment comes as BiiGGA prepares to launch its new line of credit product, which will be released this month with limits from $10,000–$150,000. Eligibility will be determined on six months of trading and an average monthly turnover above $10,000. Assessments will be based on real trading data instead of credit scores alone.

Recently, brokers have told Broker Daily they are seeing increased demand for overdraft and line of credit facilities as businesses look to shore up their cash flow and liquidity.

Beyond the new line of credit product, BiiGGA said Slattery’s priorities will include the launch of a national business development team, opening the aggregator channel for the first time, and expanding the lender’s broker partnership program.

“I’m excited by what the team has already built at BiiGGA. An innovative product, great tech and real support behind it, with super-fast approval times for brokers and same day settlement for customers,” Slattery said.

“We will be looking to deepen relationships with aggregators and brokers. It’s a brand that’s built for brokers and their customers. We are accrediting brokers and funding deals in the same day, while other lenders slow down, we are built to scale and grow with brokers and customers.”

Slattery commenced in the role this month and will be based at BiiGGA’s Brisbane headquarters.

BiiGGA said that the appointment of Slattery followed its strongest quarter on record (in the fourth quarter of the financial year 2026).

BiiGGA co-founder and CEO Jaco Gunter said he saw further scope to expand BiiGGA’s working capital offering.

“We started BiiGGA with a simple vision, working capital that fits the way Australian businesses actually trade,” Gunter said.

“What the team has built since then has exceeded every expectation, and we believe the biggest growth is still in front of us. I’m excited to see Lee lead the growth of BiiGGA into its next chapter.”

BiiGGA currently offers working capital facilities between $10,000 and $500,000, with businesses able to make fixed daily or weekly repayments or opt for variable repayments linked to a percentage of daily takings.

The lender said the variable model was designed to allow repayments to move with a business’s trading conditions, with lower repayments during quieter periods.
