Pexa has announced the appointment of Nitesh Thadani to the role of UK chief technology officer to drive the ongoing development and rollout of its technology platform in 2025.
Thadani, a long-time advocate of a digitised property transaction process, brings more than 20 years of experience in his field. He combines a deep expertise in fintech and SaaS businesses with extensive knowledge of the UK’s mortgage industry, having worked with and delivered integrations with some of the UK’s largest lenders, such as NatWest and Nationwide.
Thadani joins Pexa from Mojo Mortgages, where he was the interim director of engineering. Previously, he has worked for and consulted with global organisations across the UK, US, India, and Australia, including ThoughtWorks, Barclays, McKinsey, British Gas, and recently, Smartr365.
Reporting into UK chief executive officer Joe Pepper as part of the UK executive leadership team, Thadani will join the business towards the end of January.
Commenting on his appointment, Thadani said: “From open banking to embedded finance, I have had the privilege of witnessing the transformative impact technology can have for businesses and the sectors they operate in first hand, and Pexa has taken great strides to unlock its potential for the mortgage market. I am excited to play a role in delivering the technology that will enable it to streamline the UK’s remortgaging and homebuying process.”
