Lextech has made two new appointments to the C-suite to “support continued customer growth and innovation.”
Peter Maloney was revealed to be the new CEO. Prior to this role, he was CEO and managing director of GlobalX and managing director of Dye and Durham Australia.
Financial services firm Purcell Partners created, owns, and backs Lextech. Simon Purcell, founder and director of Purcell Partners, said Maloney’s appointment brings experience in mortgage settlement, technology, finance, and law.
“Peter has been a transformative force in scaling some of Australia’s most influential technology brands at the crossroads of finance, property, and law and will be instrumental in advancing Lextech’s capabilities and customer success,” Purcell said.
“Peter’s expertise in harnessing technology to drive efficiency, accuracy, and security within the mortgage and legal ecosystems will further strengthen our commitment to delivering seamless transactions and rigorous due diligence. His strategic vision will shape Lextech’s future, driving innovation and efficiency to deliver unmatched value for our customers, Australia’s lenders and indeed property owners.”
Joining Maloney is Rafe Berding, who was appointed chief growth officer at Lextech.
With previous experience in legal, banking, conveyancing, and government, the new role will allow for a compliance-driven approach.
Alongside the C-suite appointments, Jason Popkowski will join Lextech as head of sales.
Formerly general manager of financial services at Dye and Durham, client service manager at the NSW Land Registry Service, and head of sales for eBay, Popkowski brings a strong customer focus to the position.
