Molo appoints French as COO
Molo, the specialist lender, has appointed Lynne French as chief operations officer (COO) as its expansion of operations and distributions continues.
French will be responsible for scaling Molo’s operational platform to support demand and maximising strategic partnerships with One Mortgage System (OMS) and LMS.
