Horseshoe Group has appointed Anna Pereira as senior vice president, head of treasury, and Mark Lavery as senior vice president, head of marketing and communications, in a move to strengthen its global offerings.
The two new appointments will be based in Horseshoe’s Bermuda office and play key roles in the firm’s global business.
Pereira, who has more than 20 years’ experience working in Bermuda’s insurance, reinsurance, and captive markets, will take over responsibility for the group’s global banking and trustee relationships from Philip Jones, who will be retiring from full time responsibilities in June.
Previously, Pereira was the head of captive and insurance banking at HSBC Bank Bermuda, and also held roles at Everest Reinsurance and Chubb Financial.
Lavery will lead and support Horseshoe’s global marketing, communications, knowledge management and business development efforts.
Most recently the senior manager, markets at KPMG in Bermuda, Lavery has more than 10 years of financial services marketing and communications experience in the Bermuda and international markets.
Horseshoe CEO Andre Perez said: “We are extremely excited to have Anna Pereira and Mark Lavery join our team. Their extensive expertise and broad industry knowledge will enhance our level of client service and help further develop our many global capabilities.”
“We are confident that their talents and industry experience will enable them to successfully contribute to our expansion plans.”
Pereira said she was looking forward to helping Horseshoe service their client base.
She commented: “Horseshoe is known for its high quality service level, industry expertise and highly respected staff and I’m thrilled to be part of the team.”
Lavery added: “I’m looking forward to working with this dynamic team to continue to build our firm’s brand and reputation, and strengthen the valuable relationships with our clients.”
