White Star Capital has committed to its future in Guernsey with a new permanent office and a Chief Financial Officer based in the island.
Tony Corbin has joined the global multi-stage technology investment platform as CFO and General Partner. He'll be leading its global financial operations and investment funds across the firm's multiple strategies and geographies.
This appointment marks the continued expansion of the firm’s team in Guernsey, with a team of ten now based on the island.
Coinciding with Mr Corbin's appointment, White Star Capital has also announced that it has expanded its presence in Guernsey, with the opening of a new permanent office in St Peter Port providing an operational hub for its international investment team based out of London, New York, Paris, Singapore, Toronto, Montreal and Tokyo.
Eric Martineu-Fortin, Founder and Managing Partner of White Star Capital said he is very pleased to be confirming both the new office and his new CFO today.
“Tony brings exceptional skills and experience to White Star’s global operations. His global perspective is an integral part of White Star’s ethos and investment strategy and has been one of the drivers of success as the firm has grown to manage over $1bn in assets. When the opportunity to welcome him to our partnership presented itself, it was a natural offer to make.
“What attracted me in moving our family to Guernsey in 2011 was the pool of skilled finance professionals as well as its highly sophisticated business environment. After more than ten years on the island, I am extremely proud to announce that our global operations are now fully internalised and managed out of Guernsey under the leadership of Tony and Patrick. With ten professionals working out of our office in St Peter Port, I couldn’t be prouder of our entire team.”
