Mark Witherspoon joins Zoopla

Witherspoon joins Zoopla with extensive experience of the AVM market and related data services, having been formerly CEO of both Hometrack and UKValuation, where he pioneered the adoption of AVMs by UK lenders. Most recently Witherspoon has consulted on data-driven risk management for a range of lenders and corporations and will divide his time between serving these clients and his role at Zoopla.

Commenting, he said: “I am delighted to be joining the team at Zoopla and am looking forward to developing the proposition and leading further innovation in the property valuation data services field. With Zoopla’s sophisticated modelling and unique and proprietary data about UK homes, I am excited about the opportunity to provide clients with access to the Zoopla data for origination, revaluation and risk-assessment purposes.”
