The Jersey Financial Services Commission has appointed Elaine Walsh to the newly created role of Executive Director of Finance, Strategy, and Change.
As Jersey increasingly focuses on strengthening its competitiveness as an international finance centre of choice, this executive role enables the JFSC to deliver an enhanced change agenda and operational improvement, while also ensuring financial control and value for money. The role has direct responsibility for Finance, Operational Excellence and Project Management.
Elaine Walsh (pictured) will also play a pivotal role in developing the JFSC’s 2026+ strategy based on her extensive experience in strategic planning, corporate governance, and risk management within financial services in London and the Channel Islands. Her previous roles include Director of Finance at Family Nursing & Home Care and Chief Financial Officer at BNP Paribas Channel Islands, where she managed multiple legal entities and led significant financial transformations.
Director General Jill Britton said: “We welcome Elaine to the JFSC team. Her appointment is a significant step forward in our transformation programme focussed on performance, service and people. Elaine’s experience and expertise will be invaluable at this important time for the JFSC, as we develop the next stage of our strategy and implement fees reform to support competitiveness.”
