Farah Ballands, Chief Executive Officer at Estera, the global fiduciary provider, has won the Woman of the Year Business Growth category in Citywealth’s Powerwomen Awards. The award recognises Farah’s outstanding achievements in leading and growing Estera’s business.
Farah Ballands said: “Since Estera became independent we have invested significantly in the growth of our long-established private wealth and corporate services businesses and have also built a fully-fledged global funds capability, which now represents roughly a third of our business and boasts a stable of top tier private equity funds across a number of offices, including Guernsey and Luxembourg. Our staff of highly regarded practitioners has worked hard to grow the business rapidly over the last three years. This growth has come without sacrificing our commitment to excellence in client service or our collaborative employee culture. We now have a well-diversified business with a global footprint. This award recognises our global team and their efforts, I am extremely proud to work with them all.”
Estera’s private client service line provides trust management and administration services including foundations, managed trust companies, personal pensions, private trust companies, trust formation and administration and has over 550 professionals in 11 jurisdictions.
The Citywealth Powerwomen awards spotlight individuals and companies who support female leadership and celebrate diversity. The awards recognise individuals and companies who maximise the potential of women in wealth.
The awards were announced on Thursday 21 February in London.
