‘Heavy-hitter’ to help ramp up innovative new platform
A CARDIFF-BASED fintech startup has strengthened its team with the appointment of an industry heavy-hitter as it looks to ramp up the marketing of its innovative new platform.
James Snow, a leading figure in the financial and technology services sector, is joining SamePage Group as a board director.
Previously group sales director at Target Group and chief executive of the company’s loan servicing business, Mr Snow has over 25 years of experience in the sector.
With a background in B2B financial IT sales, Mr Snow will lead on SamePage’s sales and marketing strategy, leveraging his relationships with leading organisations such as Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, DVLA, Investec, LV=, Morgan Stanley and Yorkshire Building Society.
SamePage was set up last year by Rob Evans and Gavin Johns after they saw the potential of implementing software solutions to deliver significant improvements in the finance services sector, particularly in terms of “speed of service” and “cost of processing”.
The cloud-deployed platform aims to simplify the entire loan application process for the UK credit industry by providing an entirely digital customer journey.
On his appointment, Mr Snow said: “I’m really excited to be joining such an ambitious, innovative and fast-moving technology business and look forward to exploiting SamePage’s technology to drive innovation to a sector undergoing significant change.”
Co-founder and commercial director Mr Johns said: “We are delighted to welcome James to SamePage and this is an exciting step-change in our evolution.
“He is a highly respected figure in the industry and we are looking forward to leveraging his sales, strategic relationship and marketing experience across the consumer lending, commercial and investment markets.”
