"Here We Grow Again” - Envestnet | Yodlee Adds to Australia-based Team
As Australia’s FinTech sector continues to boom, so too is industry leader Envestnet | Yodlee. Tim Poskitt, Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand at Envestnet | Yodlee recently announced several changes and key hires to the Sydney-based team to help support Envestnet | Yodlee’s continued expansion in the region.“First, I’m thrilled to announce we’re promoting Lauren Applegate to Director. She is fully committed to Envestnet | Yodlee’s mission of helping Australians become financially-savvy as anyone on our team,” said Poskitt. “At the same time, we’re expanding the sales and customer success team because we want to continue to be proactive and get the word out about how we can help firms take advantage the digital transformation that’s happening now in financial services.”Poskitt also noted they’ve added four new members to their Sydney office, including:
Roopak Harisdasan, Senior Solutions Consultant.
Roopak will lead the team’s Solution Consulting capability, working closely with key Envestnet | Yodlee clients in developing solutions to help them on their Open Banking journey. He joins mostly notably from Westpac Banking Corporation, one of Australia’s big four banks, where he led parts of their Open Banking compliance program. Prior to this, Roopak worked at other well-regarded financial service companies including global firm UBS and regional banking powerhouse, Bank of New Zealand, where he had positions developing solutions centered around the wealth management sector.
Taner is focused on new markets and growing Envestnet | Yodlee’s customer base throughout both the Fintech and New Zealand markets. Taner has a wealth of sales management experience within FinTech, including his most recent role at Cashrewards, a large Australian FinTech that offers cashback rewards to subscribers, where he led a number of verticals. Taner also spent time in the United Arab Emirates, where he led business development and strategy for Fly365.com. His experience will be key as Envestnet | Yodlee looks to expand further throughout APAC region.
Tim joins Envestnet | Yodlee with well-rounded experience gained at a number of industry-leading technology companies, including Thomson Reuters, MYOB, Oracle and Google, in a diverse range of sales roles. Tim will be focused on building new relationships within the FinTech market, as well as working with other team members to roll out Envestnet | Yodlee’s broad suite of Open Banking solutions to key partners throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Nick joins Envestnet | Yodlee as an account executive, working with our FinTech brands across the Australia and New Zealand region. Nick has experience working with broader consumer lending clients during his tenure at global human resource consulting firm Robert Half, where he managed a number of large FinTech clients.“These changes are proof that momentum for our solutions, data access and global open banking experience is growing here,” noted Poskitt in closing. “And we couldn’t be more excited to play an ongoing role in connecting the industry and improving the ecosystem.”For more information on any these updates, please feel free to contact our Australia-based team directly.
