Sinclair has more than 20 years of experience working in the mortgage and wider financial services sector, and was most recently chief executive of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI), having worked for the organisation from 2012 until his retirement last year.
He helped to establish AMI as an independent organisation and led its operations across regulatory engagement, policy development, member services and media relations.
Sinclair has also held many non-executive positions within the mutual sector, including at Darlington Building Society and Buckinghamshire Building Society, where he served on a range of audit, risk, remuneration and nomination committees.
Sinclair (pictured) said: “LSL Financial Services works with some of the most significant brands and voices within the intermediary market. I am pleased to be joining the board at such an important time for our industry.
“Having spent many years working closely with intermediaries, lenders, regulators and policymakers, I look forward to bringing that experience to bear and supporting the continued growth and long-term development of the business.”
