Enra Specialist Finance appoints new CTO
17 November 2021
Enra Specialist Finance has appointed Aris Karidis as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to oversee the development of its industry leading technology.
With over 18 years of experience developing web and mobile technology, Aris will head the team responsible for maintaining and enhancing systems for Enra and its subsidiaries: specialist lender West One and broker firms Enterprise Finance and Vantage Finance.
This appointment affirms Enra’s commitment to developing industry leading systems to support the exceptional service provided by the group to brokers, property finance professionals, and homeowners.
Enra has already built its own bespoke, loan origination and broking systems in-house covering all four of its current products: bridging, development finance, buy to let and second charge. Aris’ role will be to lead and grow Enra’s current tech team of 18, and to develop the existing systems further to ensure seamless processes for the end user.
Having previously worked for several successful start-ups and scale-ups, as well as larger organisations across a range of industries, Aris is eager to bring his wealth of knowledge to the business.
He explained: “I’m really excited to be joining a great team and a very successful company. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and start contributing to Enra’s future success.
“As Enra’s CTO my primary focus will be on our people and our unique technology, both of which are critical to our future.”
Stephen Hogg, Enra’s Chief Operating Officer, added: “I am delighted to welcome Aris to the team to support our next phase of growth.
“We are committed to continuous investment in our unique technology platform, and Aris joining the business further enhances our software development capabilities and will allow us to deliver the next stage of our technology strategy.
“He brings a wealth of experience in technology, leadership and development and I am looking forward to working with him to enhance our origination systems and further streamline our customer experience.”
The appointment of Aris Karidis as CTO is the latest piece of positive news for Enra, as they recently relocated into a new environmentally friendly office.
Enra’s new location registered address is: The Edward Hyde Building, 38 Clarendon Road, Watford WD17 1JW.
