Former Deputy CEO of Guernsey Finance Kate Clouston has joined Collas Crill as Global Relationship Manager.
Kate brings to the firm significant experience of working with China, as Collas Crill looks to build on its presence in Asia.
A key component of her new role will be client facing, helping to connect private clients, family offices and businesses with Collas Crill’s team advising on investment funds, intergenerational wealth transfer and international business expansion.
Kate will also work with the business development team to develop the firm's profile in North America, Europe and other territories, and to source new international opportunities.
Before joining Collas Crill, Kate was responsible for spearheading Guernsey Finance’s international business development efforts and has been credited for making significant progress in the Asian and US markets.
She has spent significant periods overseas, particularly in Asia, where her ability to speak Mandarin has been critical to building relationships in the region. Before moving to Guernsey, Kate was based in Hong Kong.
Earlier in her career, Kate was a political analyst in London with the Royal United Services Institute, where she assisted with research projects on issues such as the UK/NATO defence policy and coordinating humanitarian operations in Afghanistan.
