Non-Executive Chairman of the Board (independent)
Apex Guernsey is a strategic jurisdiction within the wider Group with more than 200 employees and revenue in excess of $50m and has a full-suite client offering.
Apex Group is one of the largest providers globally of third-party corporate services to listed funds (both open and closed-ended), private equity fund managers and fund structures, and to their portfolio companies. These services target the "Office of the CFO" in the face of ever-higher regulatory standards, growing allocations to private assets, and increasingly sophisticated investment products. Apex offers a specialised, scalable and reliable financial services solution in a highly regulated environment, spanning compliance/ administration/ reporting, fund accounting, company secretarial, AIFM, and a growing range of ancillary and assurance services. Apex Group's principal shareholders alongside the management group are Genstar Capital, as well as TA Associates, Mubadala Investment Company and Carlyle.
I took the Chair in late 2024. I provide board leadership and oversight at a time of i) significant adaptation to capital markets and products, ii) deployment of new technologies to streamline core functions, iii) talent management and development, and iv) renewed scrutiny throughout the business of what's required to deliver a first-class client service going forwards.
