Phoebus Software has named Robin Jeffery as its new chief technology officer, as the firm looks to its next phase of growth and product development.
He replaces Neil Dyke, who steps down after eight years during which he played a pivotal role in modernising the company’s technology and transitioning its servicing platform into a leading software-as-a-service proposition.
Under Dyke’s leadership, Phoebus’ servicing solution has evolved to support more than £120 billion in mortgage and savings accounts. His departure marks the end of a transformative chapter for the business, which has established itself as a significant player in the financial services software sector.
Jeffery (pictured) brings with him over three decades of experience in mortgage and banking technology. His previous roles include senior technology and transformation positions at Nationwide and Hampshire Trust Bank, and most recently, a stint at Sopra Banking Software.
Jeffery said: “Phoebus’ delivery track record is first class and the business has transformed over recent years into the leading SaaS product provider for the account servicing market. I am looking forward to building on the strong technology foundation that today underpins the software product business and bring new ways of working to help the business to continue to grow and enable our clients to deliver for their customers, utilising the latest technology so that the product and its delivery to clients just continues to get better.
“I am excited to work in such an innovative business, and to bring the benefits of my experience to both Phoebus and its client base, new and old.”
“GREAT KNOWLEDGE”
Adam Oldfield, chief executive officer at Phoebus, said the appointment followed a rigorous recruitment process and highlighted Jeffery’s insight into the company’s business model and client relationships.
“Robin is an industry recognised guy who has a great knowledge of our business and offering through working as a client at Hampshire Trust Bank,” Oldfield said.
“Recruiting a replacement for Neil was never going to be easy, but we have to plan ahead and Robin’s visionary approach and ability in terms of technological and delivery strategy came across very strongly in a robust recruitment process, and I have no doubt that he will bring new ideas and opportunities to Phoebus in terms of product, delivery and client facing areas.
“The Exec Team is very much look forward to working with him moving forward. As an ex-Phoebus user, he understands our philosophies in the way we work with clients in partnership, and I believe we will see substantial benefit from his appointment moving forward supporting our next period of growth.”
