Veriv, the financial verification network, has announced three senior leadership appointments, naming David Malone as Vice President of Sales, Jennifer Meister as Chief Marketing Officer, and Kyle Gibbons as International Director. Veriv said the additions bring together executives with deep experience building global businesses across financial services, technology and data, and will anchor its commercial organization as it scales its verification network worldwide.

Financial verification — independently confirming details such as account balances, transactions and eligibility with the institution holding the underlying records — is a standard requirement in mortgage lending, external auditing and public benefits administration, where decisions depend on accurate, source-validated data. That dependence on institution-held records is also what makes a verification network's commercial reach — its relationships with the banks and institutions holding the data — central to how widely its services can extend.

The hires extend a period of global expansion for Veriv, which is adding Confirmation.com veterans to scale growth in mortgage, audit and benefit eligibility verification. The team joins at a pivotal stage for the company, which pairs an established global verification network with patent-pending adaptive delivery technology designed to modernize how financial information is requested, validated and exchanged. Together, the appointments strengthen Veriv's leadership across its three principal commercial functions — sales, marketing and international growth — as the company expands its network and builds the infrastructure on which financial verification runs, across industries and around the world. With those three functions now staffed, Veriv's European buildout under Gibbons and its push to scale verification across mortgage, audit and benefit eligibility are the areas to watch as the company moves from assembling its commercial leadership to executing its expansion.

Malone joins as Vice President of Sales and will lead Veriv's global sales organization from Nashville. He was a co-founder of Confirmation.com, where he spent nearly two decades building the platform's audit confirmation network, establishing foundational relationships with major global banks and accounting firms and leading its international expansion. Following Confirmation.com's acquisition by Thomson Reuters, Malone served as Senior Director of Global Accounts, continuing to grow strategic relationships with major institutions across the network.

Meister becomes Chief Marketing Officer with more than 20 years of global marketing leadership across data, technology and regulated industries. She has led brand, go-to-market and demand generation for fast-growth companies operating in more than 100 countries, with experience spanning mergers and acquisitions from strategy through brand and go-to-market integration.

Gibbons takes on the International Director role and will be based in London, where he will build Veriv's European presence and lead business development across the region. He previously served as Director of Sales, globally overseeing Thomson Reuters Confirmation's largest customer relationships, and spent nearly a decade building the company's presence across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

"We set out to build the strongest commercial team in the industry, and this is it," said Sean Dunlea, Chief Executive Officer of Veriv. "David, Jennifer and Kyle have each spent their careers building and scaling some of the businesses that have shaped this market. Talent like this doesn't move for incremental change — they came to build what comes next."
