Kevin Conlon was today appointed as the first Chief Executive Officer of the Senior Australians Equity Release Association of Lenders (SEQUAL), the peak Reverse Mortgage Industry Association.
“Kevin Conlon’s strong background in emerging markets and international banking makes him ideally qualified to take on the inaugural CEO role and guide SEQUAL through the next stage of its development,’ said Kieren Dell, SEQUAL Executive Director.
“The SEQUAL Board determined that SEQUAL had developed to a point where a full-time CEO was needed, and decided that Conlon was the outstanding candidate for the role.”
Prior to joining SEQUAL a year ago to drive the crucial SEQUAL education program as Head of Education, Conlon was the Head of Education for the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) where he designed and delivered highly successful education programs for Mortgage Brokers. He also has an impressive track record operating at senior levels across a number of financial market sectors which has seen him lead some of Australia’s most significant corporate finance and capital market transactions.
“I am committed to the process of ensuring that consumers are well-placed to make informed decisions about their retirement funding options. I look forward to the opportunity of guiding the development of an efficient and ethical Reverse Mortgage market,” said Kevin Conlon, SEQUAL CEO.
