Adam Long and Ben Rosswick

A fast-growing Australian legaltech start-up has attracted a seasoned executive to be its finance chief.

Ben Rosswick has joined Smarter Drafter as CFO. He moved from Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking, where he was the director in charge of G10 foreign exchange options in Asia. He has also held leadership positions at Deutsche Bank and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Smarter Drafter said that Rosswick was considered a young prodigy at Deutsche Bank, where he quickly rose to vice president in London. He then moved to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where he became the director in charge of G10 foreign exchange options in the Asia-Pacific region.

“We’re very excited to be hiring people of Ben’s calibre. With his appointment, we now have the management team we need to keep doubling every year and begin our international expansion,” said Adam Long, Smarter Drafter chief executive.
