Meet the people who get it sorted
Phone-shot intros from each adviser are coming. Until then, this is the team as clients already know them — Kapiti-based, nationwide, and happy to sit at your table.

The Leadership Team
Richard Banks
Managing Director
Richard founded Orange Network in 2010 and still sits in the room with clients — helping Kiwis buy homes, protect their families, and make sense of the next money decision.
Mark de Groot-McKenzie
Head of Strategy and Partnerships
Mark builds the Orange Network — the specialists, lenders, and partners who sit around your goals when a home loan or insurance policy isn't the whole story.
Chad Weber
Head of Lending
Chad leads Orange Network's lending work — first homes, refinancing, investment, construction, and business finance — across a panel of 16+ lenders.
Adam Sleep
Head of Insurances
Adam leads Orange Network's insurance advice — life, health, trauma, and income protection — so cover matches your life, not a generic package.
Dave Lacy
Head of Operations
Dave keeps Orange Network running — onboarding, compliance, systems, and the detail that gets applications from first chat to done.
The Advisory Team
Raymond Maree
Relationship Manager, Insurances
020 406 49417
Raymond brings more than 20 years of financial advice to personal and business insurance — finding cover that fits your goals and your budget.
Lindsay Hill
Relationship Manager, Mortgages
Lindsay helps home buyers, investors, and business owners secure the right funding — residential, commercial, and asset finance — with clear advice and strong lender relationships.
Adelaide Levy
Relationship Manager, Mortgages
Adelaide helps first home buyers and homeowners structure lending that works now and later — pre-approval, refinancing, and a clear view of whether a better option exists.
The Admin Team
Kayley MacDonald
Client Manager
Kayley is the steady point of contact for many clients — keeping you informed, chasing what is needed, and making sure nothing sits still.
Elle Sannazzaro
Client Manager
Elle keeps client files and documentation moving — the unglamorous work that gets a loan or a policy across the line without last-minute panic.
Madison Magert
Client Manager
Madison supports the advisory team with administration and follow-up — the check-ins and file work that keep your application on track.
Julie Banks
Special Projects Analyst
Julie works on the projects and analysis that improve how Orange Network serves clients — behind the scenes, but aimed at a better experience.
