Upstix has made a strategic hire in its leadership team to continue the company’s ambitious growth journey and deliver for customers.
Bobby Morris has joined as director of operations, responsible for scaling the company’s purchase and resale processes through continued use of cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
He will also lead several strategic projects at the firm, which will help more customers sell their properties with speed, certainty and ease.
Morris joins Upstix after 10 years at Uber, most recently as general manager of Uber Eats in London, responsible for the growth and success of Uber Eats in one of the largest global delivery markets.
Before that, he held roles across Uber’s UK business, in the mobility (Uber) and delivery (Uber Eats) lines of business, across both operational and commercial roles.
Fred Jones, CEO of Upstix, said: “Upstix is growing rapidly, with a huge surge in customer enquires over the past year.
“People need more help navigating the UK’s often complex and lengthy house sale market, and want a wider range of options that better suit their individual circumstances.
“We’re excited to have Bobby on board to help us meet this surge in demand and help more customers sell their home quickly and with minimum hassle.”
He continued: “Speed is vital for many home sellers but is difficult to guarantee in the average home purchase.
“That’s why we’re proud of the service we can offer home sellers – being able to make an instant cash offer for a property and helping customers sell their property in just a few weeks.
“Bobby’s experience in delivering convenient and speedy processes for consumers is a great fit for us, and he will be key to driving our growth story further.”
Morris added: “Anyone who has bought or sold a property knows that the process can be lengthy, complicated and oftentimes frustrating.
“Upstix is on a mission to solve this problem and give home-sellers a better solution, offering speed and certainty during what can typically be a stressful time.
“That is something that I’m very excited to be a part of and I’m looking forward to helping Upstix on their journey.”
