Fiona joined EY in 2000 as a Law graduate from UCL and became a fully qualified chartered accountant in 2003. During her time at EY, she has gained significant experience within the wealth & asset management industry, predominately with private equity and listed funds. As well as her experience in Guernsey, Fiona also spent time in London taking part in EY’s secondment programme, gaining further understanding and exposure to the wealth & asset management industry, providing assurance services primarily to unit trusts and asset managers.
Aside from her technical role, Fiona is a strong advocate of the D&I agenda, harnessing her passion for coaching and mentoring through her role as Talent leader within the Guernsey office. In her new role, Fiona will continue to drive the firm’s ambition to become the most favoured employer in the Channel Islands through her Talent leader position, focusing on the continued development of training and coaching programmes.
