Challenger's mortgage management division has been restructured internally to help its aggregator partners take advantage of a "full suite of resources".

This follows divisional founder Brian Benari's promotion to Challenger CFO/COO (right hand man to CEO Dominic Stevens) and Drew Hall's appointment as the new CEO of Challenger Mortgage Management.

Hall told Brokernews the internal changes were about moving the business from a reporting line (brokers, mortgage managers) to a functional line basis with a focus on things like distribution, technology, operations and risk management.

He said the restructure would bring all those elements into one group and create a significantly larger pool of resources to focus on things like new products and developing alternative revenue streams through the broker platform.

"It will ensure the CEOs of our broker platform can take full advantage of a full suite of resources and can be very focused on brokers' customers," Hall said.

The move has seen a number of role and responsibility changes with Alex Moulieris moving up to chairman of Chairman Broker Platforms, from his previous role as head of Challenger Broker Support Services.

Hall said the new role would enable Moulieris to focus less on the day-to-day running of the business and more on its strategic direction.

Another change has seen Steve Weston assume the role of general manager, distribution – broker platforms & lending- he was previously GM for residential and commercial lending,

Hall said Weston's new role would give him a much broader remit in the broker platform space.
