Financial software developer Devexperts has announced Anthony Mervin's appointment as Vice President of Sales and Business Development for the Australia and APAC regions.

Financial Technology Veteran Anthony Mervin Joins Devexperts

Mervin brings over 25 years of experience in financial technology sales to his new role at Devexperts. His expertise spans investment data, research products, and quantitative systems.

Prior to joining Devexperts, Mervin held several high-profile positions in the industry. He led sales teams and the investment management business unit at Thomson Reuters for five years across the Asia Pacific region. His career also includes stints as Sales Director at EPFR (Informa Financial Intelligence) and Account Director at ITRS.

Most recently, Mervin served as Senior Vice President for Business Development at Morningstar, where he worked closely with brokers and wealth managers in the Australian and New Zealand markets.

In his new role, Mervin will focus on developing Devexperts' business in Australia and APAC. He sees significant potential for the company's versatile technology to support both startup brokerages and established financial institutions looking to update legacy systems.

This represents another strategic move for the company, following the addition of two new people to the Business Development department in May. Nick Mortimer, now serving as the Senior Vice President of Business Development, brings a robust 36 years of expertise in the FX and CFD sectors. His career includes significant stints at MahiFX, CHF Markets, Marex, and ABN AMRO.

Peter Moore has also joined the team as Vice President of Sales and Business Development. Based in Helsinki, Moore is tasked with spearheading efforts in the Nordics and Scandinavian regions. With a background that includes nearly two decades in the financial sector, he started his journey as an investment analyst and later transitioned to a portfolio manager at UBS's London office.
