Private wealth, funds, corporate and capital markets services provider VG has appointed a new chief executive.
William Douglas as CEO has previously led firms such as JLL, Samsung and Black Berry, most recently acting as the Chief Commercial Officer at Vistra with responsibility for the performance of the firm’s business units and growth.
Mr Douglas commented: “I am thrilled to join VG at such a pivotal moment in its 40-year history.
“VG has a stellar reputation for being client-focused and values-driven, and the recent expansion into London and Capital Markets is just the beginning.
“With a strong board and the backing of Mayfair Equity Partners, we have a unique opportunity to scale our award-winning expertise across new jurisdictions.
“I look forward to working with our talented team of professionals to deliver for our clients and shareholders.”
A strategic investment from Mayfair Equity partners in 2024 marked the beginning of a period of exponential growth for the firm.
In 2025 VG launched its Capital Markets service and opened an office in London. The company’s ambition for further growth will be supported by Mr Douglas as they plan to expand further into Dublin and the Middle East in 2026.
Waqqas Ahmad, Partner, Mayfair Equity Partners, added: “VG has made a great start in expanding from its strong base in Jersey through establishing a presence in London and launching Capital Markets services.
“William brings deep commercial experience from a range of international businesses that will undoubtedly help VG achieve its goal of supporting clients across multiple jurisdictions whilst maintaining high quality service.
“We will continue to invest in the business to deliver organic growth and pursue complimentary acquisitions that fit with VG’s strategy.”
