After initially training and qualifying as an accountant, Roger

and subsequently in Hong Kong and Guernsey. In 1987 he joined Royal
Bank of Canada as Managing Director of their offshore fund
management division and in 1990 was responsible, as a Managing
Partner of the corporate trust division, for the Royal Trust Bank
range of funds in Jersey. In 1994 he was a director of the trust
company operation of one of Jersey's leading law firms, before
establishing his own trust company, Obelisk International Trust in
1996. Obelisk International Trust was sold in 2007 to what is now
the Imara Group, a large Africa-based financial group, with whom
Roger remains involved, including as a Non-Executive Director of
their FCA-authorised UK subsidiary, Imara Asset Management (UK) Ltd
and Chairman of the group's several mutual funds; this includes the
Imara African Opportunities Fund, listed on Euronext Dublin. Roger
founded Oyster Trust, a Geneva-based Trust Company in 2011, and
remains as its Chairman and Managing Director. Roger specialises in
advising high net worth individuals on estate planning and wealth
preservation.
Kathy Cox - Senior Independent Non-Executive Director
Kathy has a 40-year career within the UK financial sector, where
she rose to senior management positions. During a 15-year stay,
Kathy rose to General Manager (Europe) at the Financial Times
Information division, before becoming Marketing Director at the
London operation of what is now Fitch Ratings. 1998 she commenced
working within the secondary personal debt sector, initially with
Cabot Financial. In 2004 she began a 10-year role as Group
Commercial Director at Capquest Group. In 2014 Capquest was
acquired by FTSE-250 listed Arrow Global, where she took the role
of Director of UK Originations and was a member of the UK Senior
Leadership Team. Since leaving Arrow Global in 2017, Kathy has
undertaken a number of consultancy assignments. She is currently
Chair of the Kent Savers Credit Union.
It is the intention of the Board to appoint a further
independent non-executive director shortly.
