Sora was founded with clear intention - to apply my commercial banking experience and provide premium lending advice that people and businesses can genuinely rely on

Clear, practical guidance delivered by someone who listens, cares, and has settled hundreds of loans, but treats every loan with the attention and detail as if it were the first 

My career began at Westpac Group which I then transitioned into a tax accountant at a top global firm.
While the technical foundation was invaluable, it quickly became clear that lending was where I truly belonged

I returned to banking and spent several years managing commercial/corporate clientele at the Specialist division of Bank of Queensland (BOQS) and Macquarie Bank, working directly in the heart of lending and credit

During this time, I was the primary relationship banker for high-net-worth individuals, doctors, barristers, chartered accountants; as well as looking after established law and accounting firms, medical and dental practices, insurance and underwriting agencies, and insolvency groups

​

From residential loans to complex mergers and acquisitions, I've assessed financials, structured credit proposals, overseen hundreds of millions in settlements, and directly managed client relationships end-to-end

This experience built one thing above all - a clear understanding of what makes or breaks a deal.

Today, through Sora, that expertise is no longer restricted to specific industries or clients, it's applied to everybody with warmth, professionalism and a steady hand.
