Novus Strategy has appointed Claire Van der Zant (pictured) as its new chief executive officer, effective 2nd April 2025.
Van der Zant joined Novus with experience in scaling businesses, digital transformation, and driving commercial success.
She will accelerate Novus’ mission to enable Horizontal Digital Integration (HDI) across the home buying and selling industry.
Van der Zant’s leadership will further strengthen Novus’ position as the trusted partner for organisations navigating complex industry wide transformation.
She said: “Novus has built a strong reputation for its expertise in its agnostic vantage point across the ecosystem and enabling HDI across the property industry.
“Whilst the industry has reached a level of vertical digital maturity, the shared ambition to reduce property transaction times and deliver seamless customer journeys is yet to be fully realised.
“The next phase of digital transformation is to unlock greater value through interoperability, with horizontal integration across the industry.
“I look forward to working with the Novus team, our clients and the wider industry to help realise this next phase of transformation and growth.”
Chris Williams and Pete Gatenby, founding partners at Novus Strategy, added: “Claire’s deep experience in digital transformation and strategy, combined with her commercial acumen and leadership will propel Novus into its next chapter.
“We are thrilled to have her on board.”
