Guernsey fiduciary firm Imperium Trust Company has appointed Roy McGregor as its new Chairman following the retirement of Peter Snowden.
Roy moved to Guernsey in 2006 when he was appointed CEO of Credit Suisse’s businesses in the Channel Islands, a role that he held for 10 years. He was responsible for the group’s significant activities in the islands and the Isle of Man and for a staff base of more than 200.
During Roy’s 36-year career in the financial services sector, he has held senior positions for a number of international organisations including Coutts & Co., SG Hambros, NatWest and PwC, and has worked in numerous international financial centres in both Europe and Asia.
Whilst with Credit Suisse, he also sat on 22 boards or branch management committees for the group in both executive and internal non-executive roles.
David Gilmour, Director at Imperium, commented: "We are delighted to welcome someone with Roy’s gravitas and depth of experience to the role of Chairman. His considerable knowledge of the international financial services sector will be invaluable as Imperium continues to develop."
