Meet the Team
Edwin Lew
Director | Finance Broker
Edwin brings over 10 years of experience in financial services, with a background spanning banking, lending platforms and finance aggregation. Throughout his career, he has worked across sales, product and operations, giving him a well-rounded understanding of how lenders assess applications and structure funding.
He studied Finance and Economics at the University of New South Wales and uses that knowledge to help clients navigate the finance process with clarity and confidence.
Growing up, Edwin spent a lot of time helping his parents run their small business. That experience shaped his appreciation for the challenges business owners face and played a key role in the inspiration behind Above 8. Today, he works closely with individuals, tradies and growing businesses to structure funding solutions that genuinely support their goals.
Edwin focuses on building long-term relationships with clients and securing outcomes that help them move forward with confidence.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find him spending time with his cavoodle, Luffy, or getting outdoors for a run or a hike.
Sean Wheatley
Director | Finance Broker
Sean brings over 12 years of experience in financial services, having worked across asset and equipment finance, residential lending, commercial and development finance, as well as sales management and partnerships. He began his career with Macquarie Bank after retiring from professional tennis, and has since built a broad and well-rounded understanding of how to structure funding across a range of lending environments.
Sean was drawn to Above 8 with the goal of building something more than just a broking business, a trusted financial partner for both clients and partner businesses.
He thrives in a partnership-led approach, where collaboration and creative thinking can help deliver better outcomes. With a strong interest in commercial finance, Sean enjoys the complexity and strategic thinking involved, taking a holistic approach to structuring solutions. For him, it’s not just about ticking boxes, but about understanding the full picture and telling the right story to achieve the best result.
Sean finds the most rewarding part of his work is building long-term relationships and acting as a trusted advisor to help clients and partners move towards their goals with confidence.
Outside of work, Sean enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. You’ll often find him training, playing a round of golf, or spending time with friends and his dogs, Jericho and Mallie.
