Guernsey Finance is to appoint Dominic Wheatley as chief executive with effect from 1 December 2014. Wheatley will replace Fiona Le Poidevin, whose resignation was announced in July.
Wheatley has more than 25 years of experience in the international financial services market in the UK and Guernsey, most recently as managing director of Willis Management and chief marketing officer of Willis' international insurance management businesses.
He also served as chairman of the Guernsey International Business Association (GIBA), the representative body of the financial services industry in Guernsey, from 2011 to 2013, a position which saw him serve ex officio as a director of Guernsey Finance.
Prior to becoming GIBA Chairman, he was chairman of the Guernsey International Insurance Association (GIIA) from 2009 to 2011.
Jim Gilligan, the chairman of Guernsey Finance, said: “[Wheatley] has a wealth of knowledge and expertise within the financial services industry both locally and internationally and a strong record of international marketing.”
He continued: “The board wishes to place on record our sincere thanks for, and appreciation of, the tremendous job [Le Poidevin] has done for Guernsey Finance during her tenure as chief executive.”
