PEXA appoints new CTO
Online property transaction platform, PEXA, has welcomed fintech specialist, Nitesh Thadani, to drive ongoing development.
Ahead of its 2025 rollout of the tech platform, PEXA has appointed Nitesh Thadani as UK Chief Technology Officer.
A long-time advocate of a digitised property transaction process, Nitesh brings more than 20 years of experience in fintech and SaaS businesses to the role, and also possesses extensive knowledge of the UK’s mortgage industry, having worked with and delivered integrations with lenders such as NatWest and Nationwide.
Nitesh joins PEXA from Mojo Mortgages, where he was the Interim Director of Engineering. Previously, he worked for and consulted with global organisations across the UK, US, India, and Australia, including ThoughtWorks, Barclays, McKinsey, British Gas, and recently, Smartr365.
Continued progress
This expansion of the UK Executive Leadership team follows the news that Metro Bank plans to work with PEXA to help improve its customers’ remortgage journey, as well as a strategic partnership with NatWest.
Last year, the company also launched the Future Property Transactions Group, a new pilot working group to drive collaboration between key property market stakeholders.

Joe Pepper, UK Chief Executive Officer of PEXA, commented: “It is with great pleasure that I welcome Nitesh to PEXA. 2024 was a momentous year for the UK business, and Nitesh will play a critical role in our ongoing success this year. He will lead on our technology roadmap as we continue to onboard and integrate lenders to the PEXA platform, develop our proposition, and work towards rolling out our Sale and Purchase offering. His expertise, skillset and track record of leading data-driven transformation will be invaluable.”
Nitesh added: “From open banking to embedded finance, I have had the privilege of witnessing the transformative impact technology can have for businesses and the sectors they operate in first hand, and PEXA has taken great strides to unlock its potential for the mortgage market. I am excited to play a role in delivering the technology that will enable it to streamline the UK’s remortgaging and homebuying process.”
