EY’s Ove Svejstrup returns to the Channel Islands as a new Executive Director.
Mr Svejstrup moved to EY in Guernsey from the EY Copenhagen office. He has more than 15 years’ experience within the financial services industry with EY. He has a proven track record of leading large audit teams across multiple jurisdictions, including companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Originally from Denmark, in 2012 Mr Svejstrup was seconded to EY’s Guernsey office for two years. During this time he led audit engagements for a cross section of financial service clients.
In his new role, Mr Svejstrup will be focusing on providing support to private equity and banking clients. His deep experience and broad understanding of the local, UK and EU regulatory environments means that clients will be provided with insights regarding the implications of regulatory changes.
EY’s Channel Islands Managing Partner, Andrew Dann, said; “We are delighted to welcome Ove back to the Channel Islands.
“During his secondment he received exceptional client feedback on his pragmatic and personable approach. Ove’s exceptional technical knowledge and industry insight will prove invaluable to our clients.”
“It’s great to be back with my colleagues in the Channel Islands and I look forward to playing a part in the continued growth and development of the firm,” said Mr Svejstrup.
Mr Svejstrup’s appointment follows the recent promotion of Richard Le Tissier to partner and the appointment of Dan Collins to senior tax manager as EY continues its growth strategy in the Channel Islands.
