Tom McGinness, Head of JTC Private Office, said: “Wealthy families are increasingly seeking specialist support as their needs are complex, family members are becoming more international, and the regulatory environment is constantly evolving. I’m therefore delighted to welcome Kellyann to the team; her deep knowledge of the trust and private client market will be invaluable as we continue to evolve our Private Office proposition in Jersey, and across our locations, to meet clients’ needs.”
Kellyann added: “JTC has earned a strong reputation for delivering high quality services to globally dynamic families and high net worth individuals, and I’m excited to be joining the hugely experienced Private Office team. Working closely with the team from Jersey, my aim is to help deliver innovative solutions to clients and to establish JTC Private Office as their trusted partner both now and for future generations.”
