Meet the team - and finally:

Loki - Head of Barketing at McGill Mortgages

I Bring boundless positivity and tail-wagging energy to the team, I am the heart (and hype machine) behind our brand. As Head of Barketing, I specialise in spreading good vibes, building connections, and making everyone feel instantly at home.

From leading “paws-on” marketing campaigns to boosting office morale, I know that great marketing starts with trust, warmth, and a genuine welcome. My approach? Keep it friendly, keep it fun, and always lead with enthusiasm.

Whether I am greeting visitors on my days in the office, starring in social content, or reminding the team to celebrate the little wins, I prove that positivity isn’t just part of the culture—it is the strategy.
Because at McGill Mortgages, we don’t just finance homes—we make people feel at home.

Personal

When I am off the clock, I enjoy long walks in the park, chasing tennis balls like they’re my biggest gain, and socialising with my fellow four-legged network. I am a fan of cosy naps, tasty treats, and the occasional muddy adventure, I know how to recharge so I can bring my best self back to the office when allowed.
