Hawksford, a global service provider, has launched its operations in the Cayman Islands due to its global growth strategy.
The Cayman Islands team will be led by the four Paradigm founding partners — Geoff Ruddick, Nic Corsetti, Leo Kassam, Cary Marr, in addition to Tamara Hill who recently joined as chief operating officer.
The 30-strong Hawksford Cayman team provides a range of services to investment fund managers, including independent directorship, distressed fund and value recovery, outsourced accounting, family office operational support, anti-money laundering, economic substance, and ancillary services.
Commenting on the official launch of Hawksford in Cayman, Simon Page, head of funds, says: “Cayman is a globally recognised centre for hedge and private equity funds, making it a natural next step in Hawksford’s ambitious multi-jurisdictional growth strategy — particularly within the Americas.
“The deep expertise of our Cayman team will significantly enhance our client offering, diversify our overall proposition and provide us with a fantastic platform for further growth, and I am delighted to officially welcome them to the Hawksford family.”
Geoff Ruddick, managing director and country head of Cayman Islands at Hawksford, adds: “Now officially operating under the Hawksford brand, our Cayman team is well-positioned to support the firm’s global growth journey while also unlocking new opportunities for clients through our extensive international network.”
