Pivotal Growth has announced the appointment of Mayank Prakash as the group’s next chief executive officer, effective 1st September 2025.
The UK’s largest mortgage broker consolidator said it is building on the foundations of personal, tailored mortgage advice backed by technology and AI.
With 19 acquisitions recently completed and a network of more than 500 professional advisers, the group said it is positioned to lead the next stage of consolidation and innovation in the UK mortgage market.
Prakash joins from Evelyn Partners, where he was group chief operating officer and delivered market-leading EBITDA growth across wealth, professional and fund services.
He also sits on the boards of Softcat and Uber UK. His earlier career includes senior positions at Centrica, Morgan Stanley, Sage and Avaya, as well as serving as director general at the UK Government, where he scaled digital pensions services for 13 million customers.
In 2024 he was awarded a CBE and was recognised as the UK’s most influential business leader by Computer Weekly.
Simon Embley, chairman of Pivotal Growth, said: “Mayank brings a rare combination of strategic vision, buy and build growth, operational excellence, and technology transformation.
“His appointment marks a pivotal moment in our journey to raise market standards to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes for mortgage customers across the UK.”
Prakash added: “I’m honoured to join Pivotal Growth, following in the footsteps of Simon.
“The opportunity to unify the fragmented market and utilise AI for every personal adviser’s interaction has the potential to transform the mortgage experience, which is a key life decision.
“I look forward to working with the talented team at Pivotal to establish the UK’s trusted mortgage adviser of choice.”
Pivotal Growth was established in 2021 as a joint venture between Pollen Street Capital and LSL Property Services, with Embley as a founding shareholder.
The investors continue to support the group’s growth strategy by focusing on scale, technology and governance.
