Jacob Smed, who replaces Simon Mackenzie, is currently MD of Intertrust Nordics and will take up his new position on Monday 1 July.

Daniel Jaffe, Managing Director market offices at Intertrust Group, said: “These two senior level moves strengthen the group immensely and place two exceptional leaders in prominent roles within the organisation.

“Simon, in this newly created global role, will focus on ensuring our clients are at the very heart of our business. He’s already fulfilled this remit in Jersey and we’re certain he’ll replicate his success there in this wider role.

“Jacob is a worthy successor to Simon and his work in moulding our Nordics offices into an exemplary case study for our organisation makes him the ideal candidate to drive the next period of growth in our Jersey office.”
