London, England, United Kingdom
Over the last 30 years, I have been responsible for building and setting the commercial direction for businesses across the funds, capital markets, corporate and private clients sectors. It's safe to say there has been significant change over that period, and it continues to accelerate as the global regulatory landscape becomes more complex and technology reshapes business operations. At Ocorian, we strongly believe that the role of specialised administration and compliance services can be harnessed to create competitive advantages for both businesses and investors alike. It's our mission to deliver personalised solutions and develop long-term client relationships by proactively supporting clients throughout their growth journey. If you're ready to look to the future with confidence, our team would love to talk to you.
I currently serve as both Chairman and CEO of privately-held Ocorian, a global leader in the delivery of administration and compliance services for funds, corporates, capital markets, and private clients. Our core purpose is to promote and protect investment worldwide, enabling our clients to continually improve the performance of their investments whilst ensuring investments and investors are assured of regulatory and technological robustness, stability and security that enables them to invest with confidence. Our enduring relationships and intimate knowledge of our clients’ business together with our technical expertise and multi-jurisdictional knowledge, mean we can provide a more proactive service, alerting clients to risks and opportunities and find the best solutions to solve complex challenges.
Working closely with the Ocorian board and private equity owner, Inflexion, I continue to support and shape the business throughout its critical growth phase.
I assumed the responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer and led the business through a significant period of international expansion, overseeing numerous international acquisitions and developing a clear long-term strategy which resulted in the sale to CVC Capital Partners. On leaving, TMF Group had grown to have over 15,000 clients and a team of over 7,000 professionals.
I oversaw Equity Trust's merger with global outsourced business services provider, TMF Group in 2009, where I then served as COO of the combined business.
In 1994 I became a founding partner of Equity Trust and was centrally involved in the company’s expansion, both organically and through acquisition. I served as Head of Asia and latterly CEO, building Equity Trust into the world's largest fiduciary and trust business at the time, with more than 1,200 employees across more than 30 jurisdictions.
