The Jersey Financial Services Commission has appointed Kerry Petulla as its Director of Enforcement.
Kerry, who has served the Commission for nearly 15 years, will lead the Enforcement team investigating and, where appropriate, taking action against businesses and individuals that do not comply with regulatory and legal requirements.
She will also be a member of the Commission's executive leadership team.
Kerry joined the JFSC in June 2007 and has been involved in a number of serious and complex enforcement investigations. She has been acting Director of Enforcement since June 2020.
Before joining the regulator, Kerry spent eight years as a police detective specialising in financial crime investigation with the States of Jersey Police’s Joint Financial Crimes Unit.
She commented: “As Director of Enforcement, I will focus on ensuring we continue to embark on fair and reasonable investigations and apply credible deterrents.
"I see early engagement with financial services businesses as a key component of ensuring positive outcomes for the island’s industry and maintaining Jersey’s reputation as a leading international finance centre.”
