SEQUAL appoints new chairman
Martin Lynch
The Senior Australians Equity Release Association of Lenders (SEQUAL), the association for equity release and reverse mortgages, has announced the appointment of Martin Lynch as its new chairman.
SEQUAL chief executive Kevin Conlon said Lynch was well suited to the role, as he steps up from his current role as SEQUAL’s deputy chairman.
“He has made a valuable contribution on the SEQUAL board and has considerable experience in the design and delivery of reverse mortgages both within Australia and overseas,” he said.
Martin Lynch is the current head of reverse mortgages at ABN AMRO, having joined the firm in April 2005 to establish its reverse mortgage product in Australia. In 2007 he also assisted in launching an AMB AMRO reverse mortgage product in Holland.
Prior to that, Lynch worked at financial services group AMP in Australia, Japan and the UK. He assisted in the development and marketing of the group’s reverse mortgage product in the UK.
