Hurst, who has almost twenty years experience in the mortgage industry, previously worked with Safran at Trigold.
Bill Safran, chief executive of Vizolution, said: “I worked with Richard for over 10 years at Trigold and so I’m delighted that he has agreed to join us at Vizolution. He is a hugely effective, strategic marketer who will make a very real difference to the company.”
Hurst will help Vizolution to grow further within the financial services sector and expand into new markets including pharmaceuticals, telephone companies and utilities both in the UK and abroad.
Hurst said: “It is great to join Bill again after several years of working in different companies. Vizolution is an ambitious company and has a great product in vScreen which is going to transform the way that firms interact with their customers.
“vScreen will play a hugely valuable role in the implementation of the Mortgage Market Review providing solutions to a number of issues that the new rules will create. It is very exciting to look at how the versatility of the system enables it to be used in a variety of markets and environments.”
