Deloitte in the Channel Islands has announced two new leadership roles for its pan-island advisory team. The business is responding to the islands’ demands for a wide range of advisory services as the islands meet the challenges and opportunities created by the Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and climate change.
Simeon Moss will now lead Deloitte’s Jersey’s advisory team with Sally Rochester taking the lead in Guernsey. Both directors will be growing their respective teams whilst maintaining their ownership across key service areas.
Simeon has over 25 years of commercial and consulting experience, having worked with financial services organisations in London and internationally before moving to Jersey. He has led multiple regulatory, data and back-office transformation programmes across finance, risk and operations functions in the banking and insurance sectors. He will lead Deloitte’s advisory consulting, digital and intelligent automation, cyber, data and analytics services.
Sally Rochester’s risk management and regulatory expertise, developed over twenty years of working in both industry and professional services, enables and her team to serve an increasing need for effective but commercially viable risk management strategies. She will lead the risk team in the delivery of regulatory, financial crime and sustainability services alongside Internal audit and controls work.
Simeon commented: “The Covid-19 crisis has exacerbated the existing challenges facing businesses and exposed new risks and opportunities, as well as accelerating the need to harness digital and AI-driven solutions. The new leadership partnership of myself and Sally will drive a renewed focus on the advisory services which the market needs, perhaps more than ever before”.
Sally added: “As well as providing local leadership for our teams and one contact point for our clients in each Island, we are increasing head count to help us meet the demand for internal audit and controls and risk and regulatory services. We anticipate that the islands will bounce back quickly this year and take advantage of the opportunities that are emerging for financial services firms”.
