SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 November 2020 – GBG (AIM:GBG), the global technology specialist in
fraud and compliance management, identity verification and location data
intelligence, has announced the appointment of Dev Dhiman as Managing Director
of Asia Pacific (APAC).
Dhiman joins GBG after 12 years at Experian, where he held various
senior positions including most recently being Managing Director of South East
Asia. Dhiman brings extensive experience working with financial institutions
across the APAC and EMEA regions and in-depth knowledge in data intelligence,
analytics, and fraud prevention; he will be responsible for driving the next
phase of GBG’s growth and innovation.
Nick Brown, Group Managing Director of GBG, said, “We are pleased to welcome Dev to the GBG team as Managing
Director for APAC. This is an exciting and fast growing region for GBG and we
are looking forward to working with Dev to continue delivering market-leading
solutions across all our key industry segments.”
Dhiman takes over the role from June Lee, who has been at the helm of
the APAC business for three years. Lee has been integral to GBG’s
transformation in the region and achieved several significant milestones for
the business including delivering double-digit year-on-year revenue growth, deepening
relationships and broadening solutions implemented with regional customers, and
expanding market penetration with the onboarding of new clients.
“I am excited to continue to grow GBG’s leadership and expertise in
APAC, building on the strong foundation that June has established,” Dhiman
shared. “As financial crimes continue to evolve and increase in complexity,
financial institutions are looking towards technology providers to develop
innovative solutions and create robust ecosystems that can help them pre-empt
and mitigate emerging fraud attacks to achieve a safe and trusted digital environment
to transact with their consumers. I am looking forward to taking GBG through
the next phase of growth.”
Brown added, “I am grateful to June for her tremendous contribution
to the business in the last three years. Under her leadership the APAC team has
grown from 90 to over 250 employees across eight locations. She played
instrumental roles in the investment of CredoLab, which heightened GBG’s technology
portfolio for the digital banking sector, and in leading solution development
of GBG’s fraud and compliance solutions globally. We wish her all the best in
her next endeavours.”
In addition to Dhiman, GBG has also made the following senior

- Lara Clark has been appointed as General Counsel and
Chief Regulation Officer. Clark joins GBG’s Global
Executive team to enhance the Group’s regulatory strategy and lead its global

business priorities for GBG’s Identity & Fraud portfolios to make it easier

has been a critical part of the company’s success over the past 13 years,
driving product-centric and customer-focused approach to the identity
verification and fraud markets.
