Kim Le Sech
Relationship Manager - QLD & WA
Kim Le Sech began her banking career in 1996 in the offshore financial hub of Jersey, located in the Channel Islands. Over time, she embraced diverse roles across various departments, consistently seeking opportunities for growth and progression. The skills and experiences she acquired in Jersey became a valuable foundation when Kim relocated with her family to New Zealand and later Australia, where she spent nearly 20 years with the Westpac Group.
During her tenure at Westpac, Kim explored numerous roles, ultimately discovering her passion for lending, spanning both residential and commercial sectors. This enthusiasm made her transition to Marketplace Finance a natural fit, as the team shares a collective passion for all things commercial, which is evident in their work.
Throughout her career, Kim has had the privilege of working alongside remarkable mentors and colleagues who have profoundly influenced her professional development. Many of these relationships have blossomed into lasting friendships. Her mentors played a crucial role in her growth by imparting their knowledge, offering guidance, and providing invaluable training. At the same time, high-performing colleagues inspired her to continuously strive for excellence by setting exceptional standards.
Kim’s work ethic is firmly grounded in trust, integrity, and passion—values she considers essential. Her goal is to be remembered as a reliable, supportive, and loyal colleague who builds lasting relationships with both clients and peers. She treasures the connections she has formed over the years, hoping those she has worked with recall their experiences with her fondly.
Outside of her professional life, Kim is a passionate ocean and open-water swimmer, finding peace in the water throughout the year. She also values the serenity of nature, practices meditation, and enjoys spending quality time with family and friends. Kim’s daily routine reflects her adaptability—some days begin as early as 4 AM, allowing her to structure her day with precision, while other mornings start later, at 7 AM. This flexibility helps her maintain a balance between her career, personal life, and hobbies, enabling her to lead a fulfilling and harmonious lifestyle.
