It most recently welcomed a new manager of business analytics and operations in the form of Stephen Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The non-bank has also announced that it is recruiting a chief technology officer, as it seeks to expand its presence in the Australian residential mortgage market \u201cby leveraging its end-to-end technology platform\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, Brighten secured $250 million through a warehouse facility with global investment bank Goldman Sachs in January and joined the lender panel of Vow Financial in May 2020, its first aggregator
