Profile
Jordan Chantry’s trajectory in mortgage broking has been defined by speed and substance. She entered the industry at 18, working her way from administrative assistant to loan writer before formally training as a broker in 2015. By 25, she had settled more than $80 million in loans in a year and ranked 27 in MPA’s Top 100 Brokers, a rare feat for someone so early in her career.
That momentum didn’t slow when she became a mother. After honing her skills for years in the industry, Chantry launched her own brokerage, MVM Finance Group, while caring for a four-month-old baby. Far from holding her back, motherhood sharpened her focus: through smart structuring, a lean onshore-offshore support model, and relentless client communication, she grew MVM to $100 million in settlements within just three years – proof that ambition and parenthood can co-exist.
Chantry has since become a recognised voice in the industry, known for treating clients as people rather than files and for building a business model other brokers look to as a blueprint. Her impact was formally recognised in 2025 with the Young Professional Award at the MFAA Victoria and Tasmania State Excellence Awards, cementing her as one of the industry’s rising leaders.

Milestones
As a founding member of WOW! (Women. Opportunity. Winning.), an employee resource group created for all women of Ryan Specialty, Phillips Topping has long championed for women in the industry.
“It’s very important to set an example and to not only inspire but mentor other females,” she adds.
In addition to her sharp marketing eye, the key to Phillips Topping’s success lies in her high-energy approach and positive attitude.
“As the leader of a team, it’s important to motivate and encourage your team members. People work very hard and do their best and it’s important to recognize these efforts. For my career overall, my attitude has been one of curiosity. The more you can learn, the better you’ll understand the business, and then the deeper your knowledge will become, making you a better team member.”

Empathy underpins that discipline. Prickett has struggled in the industry. She has felt what it is like when promised support does not materialize. Having worked across almost every function in the company, she understands operational detail and the pressure agents face. That shared experience shapes her leadership.
Structural barriers also shaped her path. As a woman and a mother, she encountered the assumption that serious business building required keeping priorities “out of order for a time.” She also experienced the double standard that frames firm women as difficult while praising similar behaviour in men.
“If you have a choice between being liked and doing the right thing, doing the right thing is always better, even if it’s the unpopular thing,” Prickett says.
She wants to dismantle the expectation that women must choose between career and family, or between strength and kindness. In her view, leadership demands both conviction and care.
Being named an Elite Woman carries weight. Prickett did not have female role models in the industry when she started. She hopes visibility changes that. “I hope I can be an example. Not of perfection, but of persistence. Of building from your values and staying true to who you are.”
The legacy Prickett is still defining centres on proof – proof that a large, profitable company can grow without sacrificing integrity; proof that agents can build real assets while keeping their priorities intact; and proof that leadership does not require abandoning who you are to succeed.
“If you have a choice between being liked and doing the right thing, doing the right thing is always better, even if it’s the unpopular thing”

“What I’ve learned is that when you build from your values, when you put people first, when you do the right thing even when it’s hard, that becomes your plan”
