The group uses recent acquisition to tap new global CFO role. Also bolsters fintech plans.

In a newly-created role, global financial services provider deVere Group has named Richard Glenn as group chief financial officer. The move follows the firm's recent purchase of UAE-based wealth manager Credence International, where Glenn was CFO for more than three years.

This newswire reported on the acquisition here.

Initially focused on the UAE, Glenn will oversee the company’s financial reporting, tax and asset liability, treasury, corporate development, and cost savings and revenue, a statement said.

The expat specialist has also named former Revolut country manager Dimitris Litsikakis as new global head of fintech to lead digital development, including building out its global multicurrency e-money app.

Both positions are effective immediately.
