EY Partner and Head of Tax for EY in the Channel Islands, Wendy Martin has been shortlisted for Citywealth’s 2017 Powerwomen Awards for “Woman of the Year: Leadership (Large, Institutional)”.
This is Citywealth’s fourth awards programme championing women in the wealth sector and highlighting female leaders.
Mrs Martin is one of nine women shortlisted for the “Company of the Year: Female Leadership (Large, Institutional)” Award. The judges assessed nominations from companies with outstanding female leaders who have vision, drive, the commitment to achieve their vision and the skills to facilitate business growth and change.
Within a year of becoming Partner, Mrs Martin extended her role further, taking over as Channel Islands Head of Tax for the firm earlier this year. As well as having over 20 years of tax experience, she has an unrivalled, in-depth knowledge and experience of automatic exchange of information and its application to business. Under her leadership EY has become recognised as a leading adviser in this field, able to support businesses in complying efficiently and effectively with new regulations. Prior to joining EY, Mrs Martin was the Director of Tax Policy for the States of Jersey, where she was responsible for developing and implementing international and domestic tax policy for the Island.
As well as her tax expertise, Mrs Martin has championed the diversity and inclusiveness agenda and is passionate about helping individuals realise their full potential. This has been demonstrated through the continued growth of the Channel Island Tax team, as well as her continued investment in the Women’s Development Forum across the Channel Islands, sharing her personal challenges and experiences to encourage women in business achieve their potential.
Andrew Dann, EY’s Channel Islands Managing Partner said: “It is great to see that Wendy has been shortlisted for this prestigious award. We have experienced substantial growth in our tax service line since Wendy joined the firm, reinforcing our position as leading advisers on FATCA, BEPS and other tax regulatory matters.
“Wendy has a great ability to communicate complex tax matters in a clear and understandable way. She is focused on delivering exceptional client service and has received very positive client feedback. She motivates and inspires her team and as a result is an excellent role model to others. She is a remarkable businesswoman.”
EY has also been shortlisted for the “Company of the Year: Female Leadership (Large, Institutional)” category in the awards.
