Robert Stevens

Robert Stevens has a 17 year career spanning financial and legal services challenging the status quo to improve the customer journey and drive business success through proactive risk management and innovation. His key area of interest has always been the mortgage and property market, with a vision to change the way we buy and sell property. He has specialised in mortgage policy, regulation, underwriting, conveyancing and valuations and in 2013 he founded the Property Risk department at Nationwide, aiming to provide a sustainable valuation solution for the future. His greatest vision was the Property Risk Hub which incorporates the intelligent use of property, environmental and legal data to link together the underwriting, conveyancing and valuation processes. This allows Nationwide to provide an instant property assessment, enabling their members to obtain a faster lending decision and proactively manage risk. This has also created the platform for modelling climate change and the work required for the CBES.
