CEO to leave Guernsey Finance next year

Thursday 12 December 2019

Dominic Wheatley will be leaving Guernsey Finance next summer, after five years at the helm of the promotional agency.

The Board of Guernsey Finance announced his departure this week, saying his last day in the post of CEO will be 30 June 2020, having been in the role since December 2014.

Guernsey Finance Chairman Lyndon Trott said: “The board is grateful to Dominic for his commitment and performance over the last five years. We move forward from a positive base with a strong team and strategy established, and on the back of very positive outcomes during 2019.

“I shall be focused on recruiting the very best successor to work with the board to set and deliver the strategy for our collective future success as a specialist finance centre.”

Mr Wheatley commented: “For the last five years I have had the great privilege and pleasure of leading the team here at Guernsey Finance and representing our island internationally. It has been five highly rewarding years and I would like to thank the board, the GF team, and all of our stakeholders for their support and hard work over this period.

“However, the time has come to make way for new leadership to take Guernsey and Guernsey Finance forward and maintain their success into the future. I shall spend the next six months working with the board and the GF team and doing all I can to secure that future.”

Work to find Mr Wheatley's successor will start in the new year.
