Crestbridge, a global administration, management and corporate governance solutions business, has made some changes within its senior leadership team.
Dean Hodcroft, chief financial officer and a founding partner of Cale Street Partners and former head of real estate at Ernst & Young in London, will join Crestbridge in April 2021.
Hodcroft will succeed Graeme McArthur as the group's CEO with effect from 1 July 2021.
In his new position, Hodcroft will relocate to Jersey, from London in April to take up the role subject to regulatory consent and will work closely with McArthur and Crestbridge’s senior leadership team to ensure a smooth transition prior to taking up the role as CEO.
Hodcroft, who is well-known in European real estate consulting, will be joining from Cale Street, a real estate investment and finance firm.
Prior to joining Cale Street in 2015, Hodcroft spent 26 years working for Ernst & Young in London, having led their Real Estate Tax group for the UK and acted as head of their real estate industry practice for Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa.
Meanwhile, McArthur joined Crestbridge in 2010 and has overseen the growth of the business over the past decade which has included the expansion of its footprint from Jersey into the key financial centres of London, Luxembourg, New York, Cayman and Bahrain.
Crestbridge chairman John Harris said: "Graeme McArthur has made a remarkable contribution to the success of the Crestbridge Group providing the vision and long-term client focus that will support our future continued growth.”
“The robust platform established under his leadership places Crestbridge in a strong position to achieve our ambitions for future success. We are delighted to appoint Dean Hodcroft as McArthur’s successor and look forward to the new perspective that his skills and experience will bring to us.”
McArthur commented: "It has been a pleasure to lead and be part of the growth of Crestbridge over the past 10 years, in that time I have had the privilege to work with so many talented people here.”
Hodcroft added: "I am excited to be joining Crestbridge and focusing on the future growth and wider strategic plans over the coming years. As a client, I have witnessed the dedication to client service and operational excellence after working closely with the Crestbridge team over a number of years. I am now looking forward to working with the team as colleagues to drive the next phase of growth for the business.”
