Dext expands leadership team with the appointment of Stephen Edginton as Chief Product and Technology Officer

Dext, the leading cloud automation platform for accounting, has expanded its leadership team with the appointment of Stephen Edginton as Chief Product and Technology Officer.

Stephen was previously Chief Innovation Officer and SVP of Engineering at Epicor Software, a global ERP leader in highly-focused productivity solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and building supply industries. He was responsible for several key transformational initiatives from cloud migration, automation, integration, research and strategy.

At Dext, Stephen will help shape the company’s future product vision and roadmaps. He is responsible for interpreting customer needs, business needs, and shaping these requirements into Dext’s technology and product vision.

Sabby Gill, CEO at Dext, commented: “We’re very pleased to welcome Stephen to the Dext team. Stephen has a wealth of experience in reimagining products and transforming them into world class solutions that drive value for customers. He adds great experience to the Dext leadership team, and we look forward to continuing on this journey with him.”

Stephen Edginton, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Dext, added: “Many companies talk about AI but very few have applied AI to real world problems effectively at scale. Dext has, with world class extraction and accuracy. We process over 250 million receipts, invoices and bank statements to automate and simplify accounting for business. I believe Dext has immense potential and I look forward to working with our team to help all the businesses, accountants and bookkeepers we empower to do more.

“My view of entrepreneurship was formed at an early age as I bootstrapped a business while studying computer science. I was fortunate to work with businesses across industries from solopreneurs to some of the largest on the planet across geographies to leverage technology to do more, AI is the next unlock for business and It’s an exciting time to be at Dext,” Edginton concluded.
