MT Finance has appointed Marylen Edwards (pictured) to its board of directors.
Having joined the business in July 2022 as head of lending – BTL, Edwards successfully guided the buy-to-let (BTL) department through its soft launch in July 2022 before going whole-of-market in March 2023.
The firm’s 10th board member, Edwards joins existing directors Joshua Elash, Tomer Aboody, Gareth Lewis, James Anderson, Lenka Pajkošová, Shyam Kotecha and Ben Lawrence, as well as non-executive directors Chris Patrick and Geoffrey White.
Her appointment also exceeds the company’s Women in Finance target of having at least one female candidate on the board of directors.
Joshua Elash, director and founder of MT Finance, said: “Adding Marylen to the board of directors was an extremely easy decision for us and reflects the positive contribution she has made to MT Finance over the past two years.
“It also confirms our continued commitment to buy-to-let and ensures that it remains at the forefront of our offering.”
Edwards added: “I am delighted to have been appointed to the board of directors and I’d like to thank founders Joshua Elash and Tomer Aboody for this opportunity.
“I am extremely proud of what the team have achieved with our buy-to-let proposition in the past two years, and I look forward to collaborating with the rest of the board to shape and grow our offering.”
