Behind Lenny
While our team come from a diverse background, a few things remain constant: we believe fluff belongs on lint rollers and not in your mortgage and loan journey, we take a sleeves rolled up approach to what we do, and most importantly? we’re committed to breathing fresh air (and dare we say? create an exciting feeling) into the lending industry by placing empathy at the centre point of what we do.
A question we’re always asking ourselves?
How can we make this even BETTER?
Dean
Founder/Director of Lenny, Chief Loans Detective
Wanna-be Sommelier
With nearly a decade of financial, banking and mortgage experience in the Big 4’s
, Dean’s love for what he does go beyond simply helping his clients find the suitable loan at a “competitive rate” and delivering a “personalised” experience.
The ONE thing that consistently gets him jumping out of bed each morning?
Being able to translate the often daunting and complex experience of getting a loan into something simple and empowering (and not scary). And being able to help and support fellow Aussie families, couples, and legends during one of the biggest most special milestone legacies in their life:
the purchase of a home.
When Dean isn’t on zoom, the phone, or communicating to relevant stakeholders about your loan via carrier pigeon, you can find him buying new wine glasses (again), and spending an easy hour at a wine emporium reading about the taste notes and the history of a bottle of wine.

Anita
Head of Brand of Lenny, Creator of Wordfetti,
Still cannot ride a bike
Lawyer turned Brand Strategist and Copywriter, Anita is the Head of Brand of Lenny and is also the creator of Wordfetti, a human-centred word-ucation and brand DNA house that exist to help brands stand out through psychology and words.
As a serial entrepreneur and self-confessed word nerd who is deeply fascinated by how the choices of words can trigger different emotions in the reader, there is nothing that gets Anita more giddy than to be able to breathe life into brands through the power of words. At Lenny, Anita plays a behind the scenes role where she is responsible for customer experience, communications, marketing and brand.
In her spare time, you’ll likely find her hanging out with her two Shihtzu pups, Mochi and Hachi, getting lost in a book, or researching on the next adventure she’d like to embark on.
Also. Anita may or may not find it extremely weird writing about herself in third person in this Bio. She is going to stop writing now.
