LiveMore has announced the appointment of Peter Wallis as Chief Technology Officer, strengthening its senior leadership team as the business continues to develop its technology capabilities and digital proposition.
Peter joins LiveMore with more than 30 years’ experience in technology leadership across mortgage lending, financial services, and other regulated industries. As CTO of LendInvest, he led the build of the broker portal and mortgage origination platform with more than 20 API integrations, launched the Residential product line and re-platformed the BTL origination system, leading to LendInvest being named Best Digital First Mortgage Lender 2025 by brokers. Most recently, at Rational Partners, he helped regulated and private equity-backed firms move AI from prototype into governed production use. He has also been CTO at Sporting Group and ETX Capital, and Chief Architect at Camelot UK Lotteries.
At LiveMore, Peter will lead technology strategy, architecture, engineering, and security and work directly with broker networks and sourcing systems to make LiveMore’s technology easier for advisers to access.
The appointment comes as LiveMore continues to invest in technology to improve the broker experience. The lender has developed its LiveMore Mortgage Matcher®, which helps brokers identify suitable borrowing options from its product range, alongside digital tools supporting the broker journey and case tracking.
Peter Wallis, Chief Technology Officer at LiveMore, said:
“LiveMore already works the way a modern lender should: engineering sits at the heart of the business, and technology is used to make better lending decisions, not just faster ones. Too many people in later life are told no by rules that haven’t kept pace with how they live and work, and the chance to help LiveMore say yes to more of them was one I couldn’t pass up.
“My first priority is the broker. I want LiveMore to be the easiest lender to place a complex case with, which means connecting our decisioning into the systems advisers already use and using AI to give brokers and underwriters clearer answers, sooner – all on a secure platform built to scale.”
Leon Diamond, CEO and founder of LiveMore, said:
“Technology has always been an important part of how we challenge the traditional approach to lending, whether that is helping advisers find the right solutions for their clients or making the mortgage journey simpler.
“Peter brings a huge amount of experience in building and scaling technology within financial services, as well as a strong understanding of what it takes to use technology to solve real customer and business problems. His experience will be invaluable as we continue to develop our technology capabilities and look at how we can use them to support our growth.”
