TAB has appointed Karen Rodrigues as director of sales in a bid to accelerate engagement across the UK intermediary market.
Rodrigues brings more than 30 years of experience in mortgage and specialist finance with lenders including Halifax, GE Capital, Aldermore, Kensington, OneSavings Bank and Vida Homeloans. Most recently, she worked at Market Financial Solutions (MFS) and prior to that, she spent three years as director of sales at Smoove.
At TAB, Rodrigues will take ownership of the lender’s broker and intermediary sales strategy, driving origination growth, deepening relationships with key distribution partners, and helping shape the wider commercial direction of the business.
Karen Rodrigues said: “I’ve watched TAB build something genuinely different in this market: a specialist property finance lender combining real technology with real service – while actually delivering on both. The team has earned a strong reputation with brokers, and I’m excited to be part of the business as it accelerates its growth across the specialist mortgage market. There’s a huge opportunity ahead, and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.”
Duncan Kreeger, founder and CEO of TAB, added: “Karen is one of the most recognised names in UK intermediary lending. She has spent three decades building trust with brokers and intermediaries across every corner of the specialist market - that depth of relationship and insight is rare, and it’s precisely what we need as we move into the next phase of TAB’s growth. She is exactly the kind of hire that can change the trajectory of a business and we are delighted to welcome her to the team as we look to bring momentum in to lending and deliver mortgages at bridging speed.”
