Gresham Technologies announces appointment of Director of Sales for APAC

Global FinTech Gresham Technologies Plc (Gresham) has announced that it has appointed Joel Jerome as Director of Sales, APAC to grow the firm’s regional footprint.

Globally, heightened market volatility, digital transformation and increased regulatory scrutiny are demanding better reconciliation and reporting of all data types, says Gresham. Jerome’s appointment in Singapore is an extension of Gresham’s commitment to meeting these challenges for existing and future customers across the APAC region. He will be responsible for driving Gresham’s commercial strategy and enabling legacy technology replacement and data migration projects, the firm reported in a press release.

With the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) set to implement new reporting requirements for OTC derivatives in October 2021, many market participants with business in the financial hub are seeking innovative ways to meet their data integrity, quality and control needs in advance of the deadline.

Joel Jerome, Director of Sales, APAC, Gresham Technologies, said: “This is truly a diverse region and it’s firms are desperate for support in ensuring accurate and reliable data for both their business and the regulator. Working with an agile fintech like Gresham that understands the needs and nuances within the business and the landscape means we can deliver this to our clients via cloud technology and on all scales.”

Mark Bolton, Head of Sales, International, Gresham Technologies, said: “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.
