Ms. Pearce, who will be based in Guernsey, was most recently Regional Managing Director of Vistra’s UK, Ireland and Channel Islands businesses. Prior to joining Vistra in 2015, she held increasingly senior positions at several Jersey-based firms, including EY, Deutsche Bank, Kleinwort Benson, and Ogier. 

As Deputy Group Head, Mr. Hodgson will work closely with Ms. Pearce on the execution of a long-term strategy to continue to enhance the position of Butterfield Trust in the market, the evaluation of new business opportunities and the ongoing development of core product and service capabilities. Mr. Hodgson has been with Butterfield since 2000 and was named Managing Director of Butterfield Trust (Guernsey) Limited in 2003. 

Ms Ozanne has over 30 years’ experience in trust and fiduciary services. She joined Butterfield in 2016 after over 20 years with RBC in Guernsey. At Butterfield, she has been responsible for the management of the client relationship team and was integral to the successful acquisition and integration of Deutsche Bank’s Global Trust Solutions business in 2018.

Michael Collins, Butterfield’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “I would like to thank Bob for his many contributions to Butterfield in Guernsey and to our Trust businesses internationally. Under his leadership, Butterfield Trust has grown substantially and earned a well-deserved reputation for excellence.

“Working alongside Bob, Paul and Lindsay have been instrumental in the development of Butterfield Trust into the pre-eminent provider of offshore trust services. In their new roles, they will ensure a continuity of our successful approach to business growth, client service and risk management.
