Dave Miller, MD of sourcing at Iress, has announced his retirement from the business after 35 years in financial services.

He will be replaced by Jennifer Rafferty who has worked for Iress for 12 years. 

Miller began his financial services career at Mysys Financial Services as development director, before moving on to Assureweb as head of provider relations. He then joined Avelo in 2002 as head of provider relationships then led the sourcing business after it was acquired by Iress in 2013. 

Under Miller’s leadership, Iress has grown its sourcing business with products such as The Exchange, Trigold and Xplan Mortgage. 

Speaking of his retirement, Miller said: “I’m extremely proud of what we’ve achieved at Iress, helping the industry stay at the forefront of change with technology that makes mortgage, protection and retirement sourcing better for everyone. We’ve worked alongside the industry to help close the income protection gap and help more people find the products that will prepare them best for retirement.  

“It has been a privilege to lead the Iress sourcing business and a pleasure to work with so many great individuals, colleagues and clients.” 

 

Rafferty takes up the role 

Rafferty has held a number of senior roles within Iress, including head of engineering and delivery for the last 10 years. Since the start of 2024, she has jointly managed Iress’ sourcing business with Miller. 

Harry Mitchell, group executive, wealth and UK at Iress, said: “Jennifer assumes the leadership role for sourcing at a time of significant change and opportunity for both Iress and the industry as a whole, bringing with her considerable technology leadership experience and industry knowledge. Our sourcing business has always led the market, and I’m pleased to announce Iress’ ongoing commitment to reinvesting into the business aimed at enhancing and uplifting our flagship mortgage and protection sourcing products. 

 “On behalf of the Iress leadership team, I’d like to pay tribute to Dave’s considerable contribution to Iress over many years. We wish him all the best on his retirement.” 

Rafferty said: “Dave has been a driving force in the industry and leaves Iress at a position of strength. I’m delighted to be taking on this role, having inherited a fantastic team, products and clients.  

 “Investing into our sourcing business will significantly benefit our clients, giving them more of the technology they need to work smarter and faster and deliver the best for their customers. We are now successfully accelerating our roadmap, uplifting our core technology and enhancing our propositions — all based on client research that taps into what our customers and the market need.”
