​Fintel has appointed Dave Miller, former Iress executive general manager, as a strategic consultant to the executive board.

He has joined to further strengthen, align, and optimise its mortgage and protection software, sourcing, and commercial propositions.

Miller, who has also held senior roles at Assureweb and Avelo, will be working across Fintel’s key brands of SimplyBiz, threesixty, and Fintel IQ, which acquired Webline in December 2023. His remit will include helping to develop the next phase of propositions in the core mortgage and protection market for Fintel and its clients.

Neil Stevens, joint CEO of Fintel, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Dave to Fintel and look forward to working with him. I believe Dave can bring his significant experience and innovative ideas in the mortgage and protection sourcing and software space to our commercial offerings, and ensure we are leading the sector and delivering the most joined-up and valuable services to our clients.

“Dave has over four decades of experience in the mortgage and protection software and sourcing sector, particularly developing market-leading fintech. His expertise and passion for supporting advisers in this important area are unmatched.

“Across Fintel IQ, SimplyBiz, and threesixty, we have some of the leading regulatory, technology, and business development solutions available in the protection advice market, and Dave’s appointment will allow us to fully align and further build upon these services.”

Miller added:​ “I’ve watched Fintel’s strategic growth journey with interest and am excited about helping to develop its mortgage and protection services across the value chain.

“Mortgages and protection are vital and growing business areas, and I’m committed to helping Fintel deliver the integrated solutions that will enable advisers to streamline their processes, enhance their capacity, and – ultimately – provide the best outcomes to even more consumers.”
