Jersey-based trust administration support provider Alfa has appointed James Wiseman as Funds Lead.
James brings more than 30 years of experience in fiduciary, funds and corporate services across Jersey, Guernsey, Luxembourg, Singapore and Southeast Asia.
He began his career in Jersey before taking on senior leadership roles with international organisations, including almost 12 years with Citco. During this time, he led operations in Singapore and Manila and later took responsibility for a team in Luxembourg.
He subsequently established a funds and corporate services start-up in Singapore before becoming Group Managing Director of a family-owned fiduciary services business.
In his new role, James will lead Alfa’s move into supporting fund services businesses, alongside its existing trust company administration work. He will oversee service delivery and provide senior-level support to clients.
James holds a BA (Hons), is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA) and is a member of the Association of International Accountants (AIA).
Michael Alfano, Founder of Alfa, said: “We are delighted to welcome James to the team. He has spent his career leading teams and navigating exactly the kind of growth and change our clients are dealing with every day.
“His experience, combined with his pragmatic, hands-on approach, makes him a great fit for a business built on giving firms a reliable, senior pair of hands when they need it most. Bringing James on board is a significant step for Alfa, allowing us to support fund services businesses for the first time alongside the trust companies we already work with.”
