FinTech Ohpen has announced the appointment of Jerry Mulle as its new UK Managing Director. In this role, Jerry will be dedicated to bringing Ohpen’s serverless, microservices-based solutions to all types of UK financial institutions, from lenders and building societies to pension providers. He joins a growing team of senior executives, with his hire coming shortly after the appointment of Xandra Niehe as Chief People & Culture Officer (CPCO). She will be dedicated to building a culture that facilitates this level of growth while keeping its combined core values in place.

“It continues to be an extremely exciting time for Ohpen. We have been busy working on putting the 25% increase in R&D, gained through the acquisition, into practice – with a clear focus on this market. Our technology continues to disrupt banking and liberate financial institutions of burdensome software. Jerry’s experience and deep knowledge of the market, teamed with his proven track record, is why I have no doubt that he will be critical to our success in the UK.” said Matthijs Aler, CEO of Ohpen.

He brings 30+ years experience gained from prior roles at Sopra Banking Software, IE Digital and RBS / Natwest and has also led the digital evolution of specific financial products, like mortgages.

Jerry said, “Ohpen’s commitment to the UK market makes this an exciting opportunity. Now is absolutely the time to bring this innovative technology, built on decades of expertise, to UK providers and their customers in a way that works for them. In the mortgages space, UK customers are crying out for a less complex and more streamlined process, and with Ohpen’s STP ability, I genuinely believe that our proposition allows financial institutions to offer exactly this. Ohpen is positioned to be the number one driver of this in the UK and I look forward to being part of the growth journey.”
