Highvern has made a series of mid-year promotions across its Jersey and Cayman offices as the international fund services provider prepares to grow its business through a merger with a Luxembourg-based firm.
The latest ten promotions, which span fund administration, corporate services, private client services, risk and compliance, and technology, come as Highvern continues its growth as part of the broader Highvern and Permian Group.
I look forward to seeing them continue to contribute to the firm’s success as we enter an exciting phase of growth
Highvern Group head of private capital, Naomi Rive
The business currently employs approximately 340 people across eight jurisdictions and, subject to regulatory approval of a merger with fund administrator Pandoo and the acquisition of Guernsey-based fund services provider Oak, the combined business is expected to grow to more than 430 people across nine jurisdictions.
Aidan O’Flanagan, Highvern head of funds in the Channel Islands, said the promotions were “thoroughly deserved” and reflected “the valuable contributions each individual makes to our clients and our business”.
Group head of private capital Naomi Rive added: “At Highvern, we are proud of the collaborative and client-focused culture we have built.
“I look forward to seeing them continue to contribute to the firm’s success as we enter an exciting phase of growth.”
