Mainstream Fund Services has made two senior promotions within its Ireland and Cayman Islands business following the retirement of John McCann, formerly CEO of Europe and Cayman.
The promotions will see Barbara Purcell take on the role of CEO for Mainstream Fund Services’ Ireland operations, while Angela Nightingale has been appointed CEO of the firm’s Cayman business.
Purcell, who has more than 27 years of experience in fund administration, will also replace McCann as the anti-money laundering compliance officer on client mandates.
Previously, she worked as COO of the group’s Ireland operations and has worked at Mainstream since 2018.
Nightingale, the former country manager of the Cayman Islands, has over 15 years of fund administration experience.
Both Purcell and Nightingale will report to Mainstream’s group CEO and co-founder Martin Smith.
Commenting on the promotions, Smith said: “Both Barbara Purcell and Angela Nightingale have been a key part of the success of our Irish and Cayman operations and we are pleased to be able to promote talented people from within our organisation into senior leadership roles.”
He added: “We also thank John McCann for his contribution to Mainstream and wish him well enjoying more time with his family.”
Mainstream also revealed its plans to bolster its relationship management and business development in Europe through the creation of a new Dublin-based client services manager role, with details to be announced soon.
Elsewhere, Mainstream Fund Services recently bolstered its services by bringing its US private equity solution to Asia Pacific.
This will allow general partners to benefit from one complete system for accounting, customer relationship management, investment, and a configurable limited partner investor portal.
