Crestbridge has appointed Marta Ciemiega as business development director for the US, as part of its expansion plans in the country.
Ciemiega, who will be based at Crestbridge’s US office in New York, has more than 17 years’ experience in financial services, spanning real estate, venture capital, private equity and private credit.
In her new role she will work closely with Crestbridge’s leadership team, prospective clients and client-facing teams, to focus on driving growth in the US.

Prior to this, she held senior roles at RBC Investor & Treasury Services, Bloomberg LP, Fitch Solutions and Standard & Poor’s.
Following the easing of travel restrictions between the US and UK, which were put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Paul Perris, chief commercial officer, and Scott McClure director of real estate at Crestbridge, will travel to Crestbridge’s US office to oversee the expansion of business.
Commenting on Ciemiega’s appointment, Perris says: “We are excited to welcome someone of Marta’s calibre and experience to lead the growth of the business in the US. Her appointment represents both the confidence and growth ambitions we have in the US and our wider strategic commitment and investment to the market and our existing US clients.”
He adds: “With the real estate sector roaring back to life and the venture capital market expected to continue its growth to 2025, fund managers and corporates will increasingly require fund administration and auxiliary support.”
Ciemiega addes: “I am delighted to join the Crestbridge team and look forward to cultivating both existing and new relationships and opportunities in the US, leveraging the business’ increasing reputation as a leading provider of global administration services.”
