Summary
Richard Booth is a Senior Business Analyst with over 25 years’ experience in financial services, specialising in mortgage lifecycle transformation, migrations and solutions delivery across both agile and waterfall environments. He combines deep, hands-on knowledge of the UFSS mortgage platform with a track record of leading large-scale migrations and automation programmes that delivered measurable savings and high-volume processing (eg. automating 20,000+ documents/week). Equally comfortable leading workstreams or getting into the detail, he has repeatedly secured contract renewals through pragmatic problem solving, stakeholder engagement and operational focus. His background as an e-commerce business owner and freelance consultant gives him an entrepreneurial perspective on digital adoption and offshore/onshore team management. Based in the UK, he also brings an analytical curiosity beyond finance—trained as an astrophysicist on GitHub—informing a methodical, data-driven approach to complex systems.
