Electronic signature platform developer Videosign has appointed Adam Nichols as its new Head of Sales and Marketing.
Adam takes wide-ranging sales and marketing experience to Liverpool-based Videosign, developer of an online platform that uses video conferencing and facial recognition software for ultra-secure remote witnessing of contracts and legal documents.
He said:
“The thing that impressed me about Videosign is that it’s not just an electronic signature platform. It’s about better collaboration and interaction with your customers and better customer service.
“Users of Videosign can use the platform to talk their customers through a document before signing it and make sure any questions are answered and the key points are fully understood.
“When I first heard about Videosign it resonated with me strongly as something that companies need.”
Adam started his career as a co-owner of Mapping Awareness magazine, leading sales teams in America, South Africa and Japan working at the cutting edge of both digital mapping and digital publishing.
He later joined data mapping company Lovell-Johns, in charge of a number of sales projects including managing the company’s involvement in a £7 million European Commission framework for mapping social, health and environmental data.
After a period as a freelance sales consultant working in a number of sectors including online education assessment platforms and automated print solutions, he returned to the mapping industry in 2020 to work with Korec Group before joining Videosign.
Adam said:
“At the centre of everything I’ve done during my career has been focusing on people’s problems and how to fix them.
“Many businesses put in emergency solutions when the Covid pandemic first started, but as we emerge from lockdown it seems pretty clear that the way we do businesses has fundamentally changed.
“Business owners now need to be looking to long-term arrangements for their digital engagement with customers, and I believe Videosign offers a solution that blends unique security features with enhanced customer experience.”
Launched in the UK in 2019, Videosign works by linking an electronic signature to video evidence and AI identification technology to prevent forgery and form an irrefutable record of the signing of a contract.
Users upload a selfie along with a photo of their passport or driving licence and the system checks the likeness, inspects the document for authenticity and can link to external databases for credit checks, criminal record searches and more.
Videosign Chief Executive Steven Tallant said:
“I’m delighted to welcome Adam to the Videosign team.
“He brings with him enviable experience in the technology sector and a passion for championing innovation and fresh thinking.”
