He will be responsible for driving the company's commercial strategy and enabling legacy technology replacement and data migration projects.
Gresham Technologies aims to grow the firm’s regional footprint with the appointment of Joel Jerome as director of sales, APAC, the London-headquartered fintech announced on Tuesday.
Jerome brings 18 years of experience leading treasury and capital markets digital transformation projects at global financial technology firms including Finastra, OpenLink and ITC Infotech. Gresham specializes in real-time data integrity and control solutions for banks and large corporates. Apart from its headquarters, the firm is also present in New York, Luxembourg, Singapore and Sydney.
Increasing Demand
Jerome's appointment is the latest in a series of global senior sales hires, and is part of its international growth strategy and expansion of end-to-end regulatory reporting capabilities following the acquisition of capital markets data automation specialist Inforalgo in July.
Gresham noted the growing demand for better reconciliation and reporting of all data types amid heightened market volatility, digital transformation and increased regulatory scrutiny, including in Singapore, where the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is set to introduce new reporting requirements for OTC derivatives in October 2021.
Data as a Critical Asset
«Many firms are increasingly looking at data as a critical asset and putting a strategy together on how to use it effectively across the business. Joel’s appointment is a crucial step in our ability to meet this demand across the APAC region,» Mark Bolton, Gresham's head of sales, International, said in the statement.
