Bravura Solutions appoints Mr Trevor Perry as a Non-Executive Director

Sydney, 11 March 2009 (ASX: BVA/OTCQX: BRVSY) – Bravura Solutions (Bravura) - a leading global supplier of wealth management applications and professional services – is pleased to announce today the appointment of Mr Trevor Perry as a Non-Executive Director.

Mr Perry enjoyed an esteemed and successful career with Prudential Assurance (Prudential) where he held a variety of positions during his thirty year tenure. 

Mr Perry’s last role at Prudential was Managing Director for Australasia, where he oversaw the successful takeover of NZI in New Zealand and its integration with the local New Zealand Prudential operation. He was also responsible for significant and substantial IT system overhauls, a task he had previously undertaken in Asia. 

Prior to his Australasian position, Mr Perry was the Managing Director of South East Asia for Prudential, where he oversaw the establishment of representative offices in China and commenced the process for Prudential’s entry into Indonesia. At the time of Mr Perry’s arrival in Asia, Prudential was operating in three countries in the region with $300 million in funds under management. 

Five years later upon his departure from Asia, Mr Perry had established a platform for Prudential’s subsequent substantial growth - Prudential now operates in sixteen countries in Asia and is the second largest life insurer in the region.

Mr Chris Ryan, Chairman of Bravura said: "On behalf of Bravura’s shareholders, we welcome Trevor to the Board. I am delighted to announce this appointment, and look forward to the considerable financial services and IT expertise Trevor will bring to the company. His breadth of experience on the Board of a variety of growing organisations will make him a valuable addition to our Board of Directors."

Mr Perry said: “I’m delighted to join Bravura’s Board and look forward to the challenge and opportunity this role will provide. I am confident that my many years of global experience, particularly in the Asia Pacific region will assist the company in delivering on its growth targets and improving shareholder value.”

Since leaving Prudential, Mr Perry has provided capital for a number of start-up organisations, becoming an “angel investor” for a broad range of technology companies. While encouraging strong and independently managed companies, Mr Perry continues to be active in a number of the investee organisations and maintains Board positions for each.
