Intertrust has repositioned its fund services team in the Channel Islands to ensure future growth and development.
Intertrust now has two specialist service teams for private equity and real estate in the Channel Islands.
Michael Johnson, head of funds in the Channel Islands, will oversee both Intertrust’s private equity and real estate businesses.
Johnson will lead a team of more than 150 fund service specialists across Jersey and Guernsey.
Alex Di Santo, head of private equity, will continue to lead a team of 65 to grow Intertrust’s private equity business in Jersey.
Di Santo has more than 15 years’ experience in the sector and knowledge of offshore and onshore fund structuring.
Kees Jager, head of funds, Guernsey, will focus on growing the business in the island and strengthen the links between the Guernsey and Jersey teams. Kees has more than 19 years' experience working in fund administration.
Jane Stammers has been appointed head of real estate and has more than 20 years’ experience in offshore administration, specialising in providing strong offshore management and corporate governance.
Simon Mackenzie, managing director at Intertrust in Jersey, said: “We recognise that fund services are a hugely competitive market in the Channel Islands and these changes will enable us to build on our position at the forefront of the industry.”
He added: “Greater alignment between our Jersey and Guernsey teams harnesses our collective strength and Michael’s experience in heading up this team will be vital.”
“Michael Johnson, Jane Stammers, Alex Di Santo and Kees Jager have all played an integral part in the growth of our fund services team in the Channel Islands and we look forward to their leadership continuing the team’s success in 2019 and beyond.”
