Jesper With-Fogstrup starts as ULS Technology CEO

25 January 2021

Jesper With-Fogstrup has started as the new Chief Executive Officer at ULS Technology, the conveyancing technology company.

Jesper joined from HSBC, where he held the role of Global Head of Digital as a Channel. He boasts more than two decades of experience within digital businesses, including a spell as chief operating officer at the leading price comparison site CompareTheMarket.

He is passionate about customer experience and has pledged to make the conveyancing process more satisfying for all stakeholders, from consumers looking to finance or move home to the brokers, conveyancers and lenders involved in the transaction.

With-Fogstrup will oversee ULS Technology's ambitious growth strategy, buoyed by the capital generated from the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiaries Conveyancing Alliance Holdings Ltd and Conveyancing Alliance Ltd in November 2020. Proceeds from the sale have allowed ULS Technology to pay off all of its debt facilities, and leave around £25 million on its balance sheet.

Funds from the sale will enable focused customer experience growth through enhancements to both eConveyancer and DigitalMove, ULS Technology's customer-facing brand.

Jesper With-Fogstrup said: “I’m incredibly excited about this opportunity. The conveyancing experience is not always a positive one for customers, because most only do conveyancing a few times in their life and all too often they don’t really know what the conveyancer is doing or why it matters to them. We can fix that by making the whole process clearer, simpler and more transparent.

“There is a big role for technology to play. Elements of the conveyancing journey are currently being done manually, which could be automated. That could make a big difference in speeding up the journey and ensuring everyone are involved and clear on the progress – from the homebuyers and conveyancers to estate agents, lenders and brokers – enjoying a far more satisfying experience.”
