Cloud-based mortgage and savings software giant finova has appointed Sebastian Mrotzek as director of operations.
The London-based FinTech says the appointment reinforces its commitment to running its operations to the highest standards.
Mrotzek joins from Redwood Bank where he served as director of operations and, most recently, chief information technology officer.
In his new role, he will oversee managed services, operational resilience and security & risk, aiming to further enhance the firm’s ability to support nearly 70 live lenders.
“It’s a thrill to step up and join finova at such a critical juncture in the company’s ongoing growth. In our sector, risk management and resilience are vital to the long-term success of any vendor,” he said.
“Over the past few years, I’ve been fortunate enough to lead a variety of cybersecurity and compliance strategies to fruition, and look forward to applying these learnings at finova.”
Richard Marsh, COO at finova, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Sebastian to the team during an exciting time in finova’s growth journey.
“I will be working closely with Sebastian to support our nearly 70 live lenders, originating over £50bn in mortgages every year. We will focus on the success of our clients, with the mindset that investing in risk and security has never been more critical.
“Sebastian’s deep expertise in operational resilience, risk, and regulatory compliance will be a real asset to finova, alongside his leadership experience in banking technology.”
