Independent private client, corporate, funds and pension services provider, Fairway, has appointed Christina Gates as Client Director in its Funds division.
Christina brings almost 30 years of experience in the trust, corporate, and global financial services sector. Before joining Fairway, she established and led the Jersey office of a leading litigation funder for almost a decade, acting as director for corporate entities across Jersey, Luxembourg, and Malta. Prior to this, Christina spent two decades managing complex fiduciary structures and their assets from both Jersey and Geneva, gaining extensive experience in leading teams and navigating multi-jurisdictional structures.
Christina holds a Diploma and Certificate in Company Direction from the Institute of Directors, a Diploma in Trust and Estate Practice from the Institute of Financial Services, and the STEP Diploma in International Trust Management from Central Law Training International. At Fairway, Christina will focus on delivering administration, corporate secretarial, accounting, and trustee director services to funds, managed entities, and corporate investment structures.
“Christina’s appointment is another significant step in the expansion of our funds practice,” said Alistair Rothwell, Chief Executive Officer. “Her deep experience across fiduciary and fund services, combined with her leadership and client-first mindset, will be invaluable as we continue to grow our platform and meet the evolving needs of our clients.”
Christina said: “I am looking forward to getting to know our clients and structures, and to working alongside our brilliant Funds team. With my background in trust, corporate and fund services, I feel I can bring a wealth of transferable skills to support and enhance Fairway’s offering. Fairway’s culture and values contribute to a strong foundation for the business and were a key reason why I decided to progress my career with them. There are clear synergies between Fairway’s goals and my own, and I am excited to help progress these.”
