Guernsey Finance chief moving to head up CISE

Fiona Le Poidevin has resigned as chief executive of Guernsey Finance – the promotional agency for the Island’s finance industry internationally. She will leave in early 2015 to become Chief Executive at the Channel Islands Securities Exchange (CISE). Le Poidevin joined Guernsey Finance as technical director and deputy chief executive in early 2011 and succeeded Peter Niven as chief executive in July 2012. She commented, “Leading Guernsey Finance has been a huge honour and a tremendous experience. I would like to thank the Board and the team at Guernsey Finance for their support during my time here and now it is vital that I leave Guernsey Finance in a strong position and ensure a smooth transition to my successor.”
