Guernsey Finance, the promotional agency for the island’s financial services industry, today announces the appointment of a dedicated representative for the country.
Jonathan Gamble (pictured) is an independent consultant and non-executive director who works with a number of firms in the wealth management and fiduciary industry.
He previously spent more than 20 years at Asset Risk Consultants in a number of director roles and has made a significant contribution to the company’s growth and relationships with a wide number of intermediaries.
“The US market represents many great opportunities for Guernsey, which is well known for being a conduit for global capital flows,” he said. “I am really excited to be joining Guernsey Finance at such an interesting time in the organisation’s growth and being involved in Guernsey’s continued development in the region.”.
Jonathan holds both the Fellow and Chartered Wealth manager designations from the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment and is a qualified member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). Amongst other roles, he is a STEP Guernsey Committee member and is a Trustee of the Elizabeth College Foundation, and has held a number of listed and non-listed non-executive positions.
Director of International Business Development James Crawford said he was thrilled to welcome Jonathan on board: “Jonathan has significant experience in investment banking from his time on the trading floors of Morgan Stanley International, and Société Générale Sydney and Singapore, where he was Chief Dealer and Regional Chief Dealer in Singapore respectively.”
“It is clear that Guernsey is gaining more visibility as a key jurisdiction for investment funds, insurance and private wealth in the United States. Jonathan will give the American market a more consistent Guernsey presence and ensure that Guernsey solutions remain front of mind for clients and their advisers.”
