Credas Technologies has announced Neil Williams as Chief Technology Officer.
William joins Cardiff-based Credas from Sero where he was interim CTO. Before Sero, Williams was VP of Engineering at Alcumus and Head of Technology at ActiveQuote, and also spent over 20 years at BT Group, transitioning from an IT consultant to a Digital Content CoE Software engineer manager. He helped establish and lead BT’s digital centre of excellence, working on high profile project launches including BT.com and BT Sport.
Williams’ appointment marks another milestone in Credas’ strategic growth, as the company continues to expand its platform into new sectors and international markets. With significant experience in strategy development and implementation, he will lead Credas’ technology roadmap as it evolves to meet increasing global compliance demands.
Williams said:
“In my role at Credas, I’m focused on scaling our technology operations with a strong emphasis on governance and resilience. By leading a talented team and leveraging AI to enhance customer experiences, we’re driving innovation across our SaaS platform. This positions Credas for sustainable growth and continued success in an increasingly competitive landscape.”
Outside of his role at Credas, Williams is an Ambassador at Velindre Cancer Centre, Credas’ core charity. The team is organising a charity football match in August, with proceeds going to the Centre.
Tim Barnett, CEO of Credas, said:
“Neil’s experience in building technology with robust governance and resilience is exactly what we need as we enter the next phase of our growth. Our mission is to simplify compliance for customers in regulated industries, and Neil will play a vital role in ensuring our technology continues to deliver on that promise at scale.”
Credas is on a growth trajectory, expanding its footprint in both the UK and global markets, underpinned by the launch of innovative new products and a continued focus on customer experience. Last month, the company announced the launch of the UK’s first Compliance Wallet – a reusable compliance solution designed to reduce friction in the homebuying process, eliminate repeat compliance checks, and combat rising fraud risks across regulated sectors.
On top of this, Credas has launched Credas Payments, designed to help firms charge clients directly for their compliance checks, seamlessly and securely, within the existing onboarding journey.
