Taddeo, who was appointed general manager of sales in October 2024, has led RedZed’s sales strategy and operations for the past four months, managing a team of BDMs and direct sales managers.
In his expanded role, he will now oversee the company’s aggregator relationships.
With a background as a former broker to self-employed clients and a past member of various aggregation groups, Taddeo is uniquely positioned to support RedZed’s aggregator partners.
He will work closely with them to provide exceptional service to their members, focusing on helping brokers tap into the self-employed lending market and diversify into commercial finance.
Taddeo said: “I’m excited to work with our aggregator partners. At RedZed, we take great pride in our strong relationship with the broking community, and aggregators play a crucial role in maintaining and strengthening this connection.
“I look forward to building on the well-established aggregator partnerships already in place, leveraging them to support broker success while driving sustainable growth for RedZed.”
RedZed’s chief sales and marketing officer Natalie Irvine spoke of Taddeo’s new role: “Nathan is the perfect person to manage our aggregator relationships.
“He is a highly experienced finance professional who takes great pride in his work, operates with integrity, and excels at building relationships and driving meaningful change.
"We’re excited to see what he will accomplish in this role – for our aggregator partners, their members and our business.”
RedZed is also focusing on expanding its product mix and plans to grow its commercial BDM team and commercial offerings.
Irvine said: “We’re here to support brokers, and there is enormous potential in the commercial space – we want to help our broker partners capitalise on it. Expanding our commercial team led by our experienced national commercial BDM, Craig Stuart, will allow us to provide greater support to brokers already working in this space as well as those looking to diversify.”
This expansion underscores RedZed’s dedication to growth, complementing the recent adjustments in interest rates and significant product upgrades.
These include increased maximum LVRs, simplified living expense verification, a revised policy for commercial vacant land, and updates to its ATO default and debt policies.
According to RedZed, these developments are designed to offer brokers more competitive and adaptable solutions for their self-employed clients, while also supporting future investments in new products, technology, and resources to further elevate the lender’s service standards.
