Company: Roost

Armed with an accounting degree and a love of travel, Stanley set off on his OE to London in 1998. He spent 14 years in investment banking, working mainly in Switzerland and Singapore. Returning to New Zealand in 2012, he spent three years working as the Queenstown Westpac Private Banking adviser, picking up several awards before joining Roost in 2015. “I absolutely loved the lending side of the work; however I wanted to make more of a difference to my clients,” he says. “At Roost I could achieve this by working with all lenders - providing solutions that worked best for our clients, not just the bank.”
