Technology provider Twenty7tec has announced two key additions to its sales leadership team.

Adam Newman has joined the business as head of sales, bringing with him a strong track record from across the lending and intermediary space. Most recently, Newman led the sales and account management function at Acre, where he played a significant role in its recent commercial expansion. His background spans sub-prime unsecured and second charge lending.

Newman said: “I’m excited to join Twenty7tec at such a pivotal moment. I’ve long admired the business for its role in shaping adviser technology, and I look forward to this new chapter.”

Also joining the firm is Stephen Rhodes, who has been appointed national sales manager. Rhodes brings with him a wealth of experience across the mortgage, protection and fintech sectors, having held senior roles at Legal & General, Tembo Money, Smartr365 and IRESS.

A former mortgage broker, his first-hand understanding of the adviser journey will be used to try and enhance Twenty7tec’s ability to tailor its solutions for front-line users.

“Technology has never been more central to adviser success,” said Rhodes. “I’m proud to be joining a team that’s leading the way in delivering smarter, faster solutions that truly support advisers and their clients.”

Nathan Reilly, director at Twenty7tec, welcomed the new hires, saying: “Adam and Stephen both bring a wealth of experience and proven results. Their appointments will help us accelerate our ambitious sales strategy, build stronger relationships with our clients, and ensure we stay one step ahead in a fast-changing market.

“Twenty7tec is growing fast and with great people like this on the team we will continue to cement our position as the leading adviser tech solution out there.”
