Digital mortgage and homeownership fintech Habito has appointed Britney Trussler to its growing protection advice team, as part of its strategy to scale its services beyond mortgages and into wider financial support for homeowners.
The move reflects the firm’s ambition to assemble a team of top-tier protection advisers as it invests further in technology, talent, and operations.
Trussler joins from Dynamo, where she earned a strong reputation for delivering outstanding customer outcomes and bringing deep technical knowledge to her advisory role.
She previously worked under Ying Tan, now CEO at Habito, who welcomed her arrival as part of the company’s next phase of growth.
“We’re still in the embryonic stage of building our protection team,” said Tan. “But the ambition is clear: to create a team of the very best protection advisers in the industry and Britney is exactly that.
“She’s smart, driven, and genuinely cares about helping customers feel confident and covered. I couldn’t be happier to have her on board as we scale.
“And we’re actively looking to bring in more brilliant protection and mortgage advisers to join this next phase of growth.”
Commenting on her appointment, Trussler said: “Joining Habito at such a pivotal stage is an incredible opportunity. I’m passionate about helping people make informed, confident choices when it comes to protecting what matters most.
“With Habito’s technology, values, and ambition, we’ve got everything we need to build something extraordinary – and I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
Habito has also appointed Karen Vandepeear to its compliance team, drawing on more than a decade of experience from Mortgage Advice Bureau and First Mortgage.
The company is actively recruiting across advice, technology and operational functions as it positions itself for long-term growth.
