Financial advisors don’t want more tools or more clicks. They want to get work done.
At Nevis, we believe voice AI is the next frontier in how people interact with software. Voice is the most natural way to express intent. When you combine it with reasoning, memory, and execution, it becomes the fastest path from intent to action. That belief sits at the core of our product strategy and is why we’ve acquired Ledra AI. But more importantly, it’s why we're bringing the Ledra team to Nevis to accelerate our goal to build the ultimate AI platform in wealth management.
Why we acquired Ledra AI
Ledra AI is a conversational AI platform built to turn voice directly into action. We were deeply impressed by the quality of their product and their ability to translate natural language into real, high-performance execution across analytics and workflows.
Ledra’s approach aligns closely with how we believe modern platforms should work. Less manual input. Less friction. More intelligence operating quietly in the background to complete administrative and operational work.
An exceptional AI team
As part of the acquisition, Ledra AI co-founders Maria Lovin and Adamos Hadjivasiliou have joined the Nevis team.
Maria is a Google DeepMind Scholar, studied AI at Imperial College London, and previously worked at JPMorgan. Adam completed his PhD in Large Language Models at UCL, where he published research at ICLR and NeurIPS. Together, they bring first-hand experience building best-in-class AI products and deep expertise operating at the frontier of applied AI.
Just as importantly, they pair technical excellence with strong product instinct. They focus on building systems that work in real-world environments, not just in research settings. That mindset is exactly what we look for at Nevis.
Philipp Burda, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Nevis and former Head of AI at Revolut, shared:
The Ledra AI team is some of the best AI talent I’ve ever worked with. Their work in conversational AI will significantly accelerate what we’re building at Nevis and raise the bar for how financial advisors interact with AI.
What this means for Nevis customers
Bringing the Ledra team into Nevis accelerates our roadmap and strengthens our ability to execute. We’re building a voice and analytics agent at the core of the Nevis platform, and this team will play a critical role in shaping that future. Advisors will increasingly be able to interact with Nevis conversationally and rely on the AI platform to complete work on their behalf. This marks a shift away from managing fragmented tools toward a more natural, intent-driven way of working.
Building the future of AI for wealth management
We’re building the AI platform that will define the future of wealth management.
The acquisition of Ledra AI strengthens our conviction in a future where voice plays a central role in how people interact with AI, and reinforces Nevis as a place where world-class AI talent comes to build products with real impact. We’ll continue to push the frontier of applied AI and deliver technology that fundamentally changes how advisors work.
