John Bolton ("JB")
Principal and AdvisorJB owns Squirrel and is a former General Manager at ANZ National Bank where he directly managed over $30 billion of mortgages and deposits. JB is a regular market commentator on the Mortgage Market in the press (and occasionally on TV.) JB has a BCA from Victoria University and has undertaken post graduate study at University of London. He likes to drink water in the shower and is slightly neurotic with his calculator.
Anna-Lisa Bolton ("AL")
Mortgage and Life AdvisorAnna-Lisa is a Chartered Accountant and has 10 years experience in financial services. AL is possibly the most efficient person on the planet (which is awesome for clients) but this is complimented with a propensity to vacuum the house too much (which is not so good for JB.)
Glenn Russell
Adviser SupportGlenn has a BBus from AUT and has been with the team for nearly a year. Glenn is the calming influence in the team. If he were any more relaxed, he'd be asleep. On a different note what sort of man wears slippers at work?
Catherine Stewart ("Cat")
Advisor SupportCat has a BCom from Otago Uni and has been with Squirrel from the start. She is the rock of our business so can be forgiven for having slightly hippie tendencies. Cat is our environmental consciousness.
Eleanor Rodrigues
Advisor SupportEleanor has a BA in Economics and has 7 years experience working with a number of lenders assessing mortgage deals. She is the newest member of the team so is yet to pick up our bad habits but we'll keep you posted.
Mike Gudsell
Life AdviserMike is our Life Guru. With all that wisdom you'd have thought he'd have stopped playing rugby by now even if its golden oldies.
