The Channel Islands Securities Exchange (CISE) has announced two changes to its board of directors. Stephen Lansdown will step down from the Annual General Meeting in June to focus on other business interests, while Isle of Man-based Anderson Whamond (pictured) joins the board today.
The announcements come after an Extraordinary General Meeting approved changing the company name to The International Stock Exchange Group (TISEG). This is part of a wider rebrand of the Exchange to The International Stock Exchange (TISE), with effect from 6 March, and precedes the launch of an office in the Isle of Man on 9 March.
Stephen Lansdown, co-founder and former Chairman of Hargreaves Lansdown, moved to Guernsey in 2010. He was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange LBG in May 2013. Following its restructure later in 2013, he became a founding Non-Executive Director and Deputy Chairman of the CISE.
Newcomer Anderson Whamond has over 30 years’ experience in the banking and financial sector. He began his career in 1983 with what was then Credit Suisse First Boston group.
He worked for several international institutions before relocating from London to Hong Kong in 1996 to run the equity trading businesses of Peregrine Investment Holdings. He became a Director of the executive committee of the Peregrine group in 1997.
In 1998, Anderson joined the Regent Pacific Group, a Hong Kong-listed international emerging markets investments group, as Head of Corporate Investments, and relocated to the Isle of Man.
He joined the Charlemagne Group in 2002 and was a Director of AIM-quoted Charlemagne Capital until March 2009. He remains a Non-Executive Director of Charlemagne Capital and is also a Director of a number of listed and non-listed investment companies.
