Throughout her tenure at OceanFront, Aman Lidder has displayed exceptional leadership, unwavering dedication, and a visionary mindset. Joining the McMahon Keast team in 2016, which has since rebranded to OceanFront Wealth, marked the most influential and pivotal point in her career.
While her roles as president and chief compliance officer at the firm undeniably require skill and talent, she’ll tell you it’s the people with whom you align and share common values that can profoundly influence your path to success.
“OceanFront is a firm of great people. As an ensemble, we work together to harness the collective talents of our team. Each person plays an important role and together, we are formidable.”
Lidder’s culmination of commitment, dedication, and unwavering determination has been instrumental in helping build the OceanFront brand to where it is today. The creation of OceanFront Investment Counsel in 2021 was an endeavour that required a great deal of heavy lifting that would not have been possible without her tenacious leadership. She believes the efforts of building something meaningful and impactful are worth it.
“Having a vision come to fruition is deeply gratifying – a time of immense growth, learning, and the opportunity to be a part of a lasting legacy,” Lidder says.
Strategic planning, innovative operational excellence, and prioritizing clients’ interests are the building blocks of her leadership style. Her knowledge of the financial industry is only surpassed by her ability to motivate others with both her work ethic and positive attitude. She is an inspiration to the OceanFront team, especially to the young female team members who see a vibrant and driven woman having such an impact on the firm’s success. Lidder sets the example that anyone willing to put in the effort can attain the upper echelons of wealth and success.
Her journey doesn’t stop here. With OceanFront creating a name for itself in the wealth management space, the next exciting challenge for her and the team is to elevate the company as a prominent player in the industry. As Lidder continues to lead the team, upholding the standard of excellence she expects not only from herself but also from those around her, the OceanFront narrative is one worth keeping an eye on.

How does he distinguish himself among fellow brokers?
“I believe all brokers are working very hard in a difficult market,” he says. “However, I have demonstrated continued growth, advocacy and performance on my client’s behalf, which is now recognised [for 10 consecutive years] in the Elite Broker awards.”
In 1990, Dixon got started with FAI, working in claims and as a team leader. From the late 1990s up until 2003, he worked at FAI and Suncorp in underwriting and as an area manager at VACC, CGU (South East Queensland). From 2003 to 2012, he got into broking and eventually started Dixon Insurance in 2013. Since then, he’s accumulated numerous acccolades, including Elite Broker, Diversity and Equity, and Fast Broker awards.
During the pandemic, Dixon challenged insurers over the Quarantine Act application to insurance wordings. His argument was that the Quarantine Act does not apply as an exclusion, as the Biosecurity Act was invoked by the Morrison Government, and this was not a subsequent amendment to the Quarantine Act. The test case in the Appeals court was won for Dixon’s client with a unanimous five-judge verdict.
He remains focused on transport, manufacturing, motor trade, engineering and large farm clients.
What are his plans for the future?
On a business level, “more of the same. I will continue to empower and encourage my staff to perform at their best as I have done for the last decade. I will continue to advocate for my clients, embracing new technology and being open to business and industry changes.”
On a personal level, Dixon invests significant time, effort and funds, along with his GT3, to support many charities through his passion for motorsport. From participating in and sponsoring the Thunderbolt Run (which provides tens of thousands of dollars in support for Beyond Blue and Prostate Cancer), to organising and running the Track Knights for Amira charity night where 28 Exotic Supercars raised funds through passenger laps in wet conditions, Dixon states “this is our time to give back to the community and those in need. My friendships and association with those seeking to do the same, allows us to contribute to those less fortunate and raise funds and awareness”.
He adds: “To be able to give back to the community is rewarding and fulfilling. I am honoured to be in a position where I can raise funds for those less fortunate and in need.”
