Incoming Resimac CEO Pete Lirantzis will take the mantle from 30 April 2025.
He was scheduled to move into the role upon the completion of the Westpac auto back book portfolio migration, which was finalised in March.
According to Lirantzis, he will be prioritising both brokers and consumers through digital transformation and experience.
“I want to ensure that we are adaptable and more responsive to the needs of our brokers and customers. We’ll do this through the continued adoption of AI, and ongoing digital transformation of the broker and customer experience,” he said.
Announced as the new CEO in December last year, Lirantzis is transitioning from the role of chief strategy product and operating officer. He has held this position since 12 February 2024.
“I am excited to take on this new role and look forward to guiding our company toward a bright future. My focus will be on achieving sustainable growth and improving efficiencies,” Lirantzis said at the time of announcement.
“I am committed to ensuring we remain competitive while evolving our offerings to meet the changing needs of our valued customers. As we chart this path forward, I am both confident and humbled by the trust the board has placed in me. I look forward to working alongside our talented team to achieve the shared vision that will drive our success.”
He will succeed interim CEO Susan Hansen, who took charge after the sudden resignation of Scott McWilliam as CEO. He announced his decision in July 2024, officially leaving his position on 1 September 2024, after 21 years of service. He had been CEO for six of those years.
Hansen will remain as a non-executive director at the non-bank lender following Lirantzis’ commencement as CEO.
Lirantzis previously held positions in the banking, finance, telecommunications, and insurance sectors.
He served as CEO of commercial and consumer finance company Thorn Group, which was sold to Resimac in 2023. He also held the title of CEO at Splitpay and Humm Group.
Back when Lirantzis was named the new CEO, the leadership team at Resimac expressed excitement for the incoming head.
“Resimac is in a strong position and Pete is well placed to lead the business into the future as we continue to diversify and grow across our mortgage and asset finance business,” said Wayne Spanner, Resimac’s chair.
“With considerable experience in digital transformation and modernisation across the finance sector, Pete has already made his mark on the business and will continue to do so as we build sustainable growth.”
Hansen, interim CEO, expressed her confidence in Lirantzis’ leadership, noting his skills in strategy execution.
“Since joining Resimac, Pete has demonstrated exceptional skills in articulating and executing a strategy that aligns with the board’s ambition,” Hansen said.
