JFSC appoints new Policy leaders

Monday 18 January 2016

The Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) has announced two new senior appointments within its Policy division.

Mike Jones is now Director of Policy, and a member of the Commission’s Executive Board, while David Porter assumes the role of Head of Unit, reporting to Mike. Both have been with the JFSC for a number of years and bring a wealth of experience, having also previously worked in industry.

Director General, John Harris commented: “We are delighted to announce these two appointments.  In their time at the Commission, both Mike and David have more than demonstrated their expertise, commitment and leadership capabilities.

"We take great pride in the fact that Mike started his career with us from university and, after gaining industry and international experience, has returned to assume a full Director role for the Policy division.

"With 24 years of experience, David was a natural choice to support Mike as Head of Unit. His appointment cements the strong leadership team now in place for the division.”

Mike and David’s primary focus will be on developing effective implementation of policies to the benefit of the island and working with international and domestic policy makers, for example EU third country recognition and a range of appropriate legislative amendments to support the evolving regulatory agenda for Jersey.
