Nigel Green
A financial services industry professional with more than four decades of top-level international experience, Nigel leads from the front to fulfil his over-arching mission of helping clients reach their long-term financial goals. Helping, encouraging and supporting the people within the organisation is a key critical feature of Nigel’s management style. The result is not a conglomerate driven by memos, but a group of companies made up of individuals who benefit from regular personal contact right from the top. Not afraid of facing the tough issues and difficult questions, being open to criticism and always with an open mind, Nigel has built a group that thrives in the complexities of multi-jurisdictional legislation and regulation to provide a service that is now enjoyed by more than 100,000 clients worldwide – and growing. And he knows his work is only just beginning. We set the standard that others follow. Our leadership team leads by example in order to create and grow an organisation with which clients and all stakeholders want to build successful long-term relationships founded on rapport and trust. Through greater discipline, drive, an experienced Board, highly skilled management and effective governance practices, our people bring a higher standard to everything we do. Learn more here.
