Trussler previously worked under Habito CEO Ying Tan (pictured right), who said he knows first-hand the impact she can make.
“We’re still in the embryonic stage of building our protection team,” Tan said.
“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.”
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.”
