Before joining Vertex, Proudlock spent the past seven years in a variety of IT and business programme management roles supporting Lloyds TSB Insurance, working out of Cardiff and Newport. In his last three years, he led LTSB insurance’s IT strategy development before becoming IT business partner for the organisation’s customer services division.
Proudlock’s responsibilities at Vertex will include the creation of a new central IS team which will maximise the benefits and synergies from VFS’s current and future technology assets. He will also oversee the ongoing development of strategic third-party partnerships to continually expand the Vertex financial services offering.
Andy Hunt, managing director Vertex Financial Services, commented: "John’s extensive experience in working with leading IT and financial services organisations gives him the ability to hit the ground running. His broad understanding of leading-edge technology, coupled with an in-depth knowledge of the major business trends impacting the market, makes him a key asset in expanding our business."
John Proudlock added: "Vertex is already established as one of the most successful and fast-growing companies in the financial services outsourcing and adviser technology marketplace. I am very excited by the opportunity of working in this dynamic environment and ensuring that our current and future customers receive best of breed solutions coupled with the highest standards of care and support.”
