Housemark has announced that Andrew Barham will join in the role of Chief Technology Officer to accelerate the data company’s plans to provide next-generation analytics for the UK housing sector.
Technology and data specialist Andrew Barham has close to two decades of experience delivering technology-fuelled strategic business transformation and innovation across a range of regulated global companies in the UK, EU and the US.
He joins the organisation from Preventx, a large health-tech company where, as Chief Technology Officer, he led the company’s digital transformation programme and delivered a new global data management system. Barham spearheaded the delivery of a new global platform, transforming the use of data and analytics to drive diagnostic testing recommendations, improve diagnosis and accelerate treatment outcomes for patients.
Andrew’s appointment strengthens the team at Housemark as it works with landlords to improve the sector’s use of data to drive decisions, channel investment, unlock capacity and transform customer experience.
Housemark’s new CTO will drive plans to use data to define and enhance products and provide a seamless experience for customers, bringing together disparate data sources and making them accessible for landlords to support them in navigating the current operating environment complexity.
Andrew Barham said: “By joining Housemark, I’m not just looking to scale the business by making sure it taps into the latest data platforms and embraces ML and AI, but I’m excited to be able to innovate for the sector as a whole.”
“There’s so much potential for the sector to take significant strides forward when it comes to using data and technology, and to enable landlords to improve tenant experience.”
Rob Griffiths, CEO of Housemark, said: “We’re incredibly excited to have Andrew on board – his appointment strengthens our technology capability and will also be a benefit to Housemark subscribers and the wider housing sector. We have exciting plans for the next 18 months, simplifying the sector’s relationship with data, bringing together disparate data sources and technology platforms and ultimately enabling landlords to deliver more and improve the lives of tenants.”
