Saffery Trust Cayman has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of two associate directors, showing the firm’s ongoing commitment to strategic growth and deepening its in-house expertise in the region, the company said in press release.

Jessica Turnbull has joined as Associate Director of Compliance, a newly created role that marks a significant step in Saffery Trust’s long-term strategy to develop and embed a dedicated in-house compliance and risk function within its Cayman operations. This move reflects the firm’s continued investment in maintaining the highest regulatory standards, Saffery Trust said. 

A chartered accountant and certified anti-money laundering and global sanctions specialist, Turnbull brings nearly two decades of experience in the financial sector.

“Saffery Trust has an excellent reputation both as a service provider and an employer in Cayman. The decision to bring the compliance and risk functions in-house offered me the opportunity to help shape and lead this important function from the ground up, ensuring we maintain the highest standards while supporting the firm’s growth,” she said.

In addition, Aline Koitzsch-Shaboodien has joined the firm as Associate Director of Corporate and Shipping. She has extensive expertise in corporate services, complemented by strong trust knowledge and qualification with the Cayman Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).

“Saffery Trust’s corporate service offering and corporate governance capabilities stand out within the industry for going above and beyond standard registered office services. The breadth of services really appealed to me, as it means I can be part of delivering truly tailored, high-quality solutions to clients,” she said.

Saffery Trust Director Lee Hart said Aline and Jessica’s appointments were an important move for the firm. “Since establishing a presence in the Cayman Islands in 2020, Saffery Trust has continued to invest in growth, innovation, and the depth of expertise we offer our clients. I am thrilled to welcome Jessica and Aline to the firm and have no doubt that they will strengthen our ability to deliver a first-class service to our individual, family, and corporate clients.”
