Guernsey Finance has appointed Zoë Cousens as its first Middle East representative.
Cousens will relocate to the region to help promote Guernsey’s financial services industry in the Middle East and act as an on-the-ground presence for Guernsey Finance.
Based in Dubai, she will act as the main point of contact for Middle Eastern firms and clients interested in Guernsey and will assist in hosting and arranging meetings, seminars or events for Guernsey businesses visiting the region.
She will continue her Guernsey Finance duties on a part-time basis alongside heading up Castellet Consulting DWC, a financial consultancy business she has established in one of Dubai’s economic free zones to promote the range of Guernsey-based financial services available in the Middle East.
Guernsey Finance chief executive, Dominic Wheatley, said: “Cousens is well known in the Guernsey finance environment and has a breadth of knowledge gained over the last 30 years working in the industry. This commitment to the region can only be seen as a positive for business prospects and the further development of Guernsey relationships in the Middle East.”
Cousens said: “I am excited to have this opportunity and I look forward to being involved in Guernsey Finance’s continued development in the Middle East.”
