Finova has appointed Lewis Harris as head of strategic solutions, further strengthening its commercial leadership team as the business enters a new phase of growth.
Harris joins Finova with senior experience across banking and fintech, having held roles at Salesforce, nCino and HSBC.
While at HSBC, he supported the bank’s entry into the intermediary mortgage market, and at nCino he led strategic initiatives spanning solution consulting and digital transformation.
His appointment follows a series of senior hires over the past year, including Gareth Richardson joining as CEO in July 2025, alongside Daniel Broadhurst as sales director and Hamza Behzad as business development director.
Finova said these changes reflect continued investment in leadership capability as the business scales its mortgage, savings and lending technology platforms.
In his new role, Harris will work closely with Broadhurst to shape Finova’s pre-sales strategy, translating customer needs and market insight into solutions designed to support digital transformation across the lending and savings market.
Lewis Harris, head of strategic solutions at Finova, said: “The UK mortgage industry is evolving rapidly, and Finova’s technology is perfectly suited to streamline processes and improve customer outcomes across the sector.
“The industry is at a critical juncture and Finova’s platform is uniquely positioned to lead the charge as the UK’s number one mortgage technology provider.
“I’m thrilled to be joining forces with Gareth and the wider Finova team, who bring incredible energy, insight, and ambition.”
Daniel Broadhurst, sales director at Finova, said: “Lewis’ deep strategic expertise and clear understanding of how banks and financial institutions can transform their operations through technology will be invaluable for Finova’s next stage of growth.
“His appointment is a big step forward as we strengthen our ability to solve complex challenges for our clients and continue to cement Finova as the partner of choice for digital lending and savings transformation.”
