Previously employed by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, Ms Bailey has nearly 20 years’ experience in the sector, most recently as Director of Authorisations and Innovation.

At KPMG, Ms Bailey will take on a number of client-facing duties, including pre-onsite visit preparation, application reviews, change of control / acquisition reviews, post-acquisition integration plan reviews and governance reviews, which she said she is excited about.
