Changing of the guard at Medfin

Medfin, Australia's leading specialist healthcare financier, recently announced current CEO and co founder, Barney Gordon will be leaving to purse personal interests previously put on hold upon his return last year. After 15 years guiding Medfin to the position of market prominence held today, Barney will be succeeded by skilled finance industry expert, Rob Bransby.

Mr Bransby joins the Medfin team bringing over 25 years banking and finance experience. "Medfin is a wonderful brand and I am excited about the opportunities available for future growth and development," Mr Bransby said. "The 'Consider it Done' ethos is extremely prominent in Medfin's value proposition and its staff.

"Medfin is a leader in its market and the opportunity to leverage its brand and service ethic to deliver greater scope to our clients is enormous. Medfin is an important member of the National group, answerable to its own board and shall continue to do so."

With extensive financial services experience, Mr Bransby was Head of Personal Financial Services in Perth, responsible for the development and direction in Western Australia. Asked to return to Sydney in 2003 to steer Business Financial Services into new ground, he was instrumental in successfully delivering new service programs.

In another move, Denis Curran has been appointed chief operating officer (COO). Dennis has been at Medfin for over a year and was previously at MLC in the UK and in various roles in Australia. Denis has been instrumental in refining Medfin's strategy and direction.
