Paradigm Governance Partners Limited, which offers independent director services, distressed fund and value recovery services and outsourced accounting services, has hired an experienced fund professional as Manager – Fund Services to assist the business in its rapid growth.
Laura McGeever joins Paradigm after five years with Citco Trustees (Cayman) Limited. Most recently, she had been responsible for the management and oversight of the firm’s Hedge Fund Secretarial group.
Prior to arriving in the Cayman Islands, she worked with the law firm Matheson and prior to that JPMorgan Fund Services (Ireland) Limited.
Paradigm was formed earlier this year in the Cayman Islands by Geoff Ruddick, Glenn Kennedy and Nic Corsetti on the back of a growth in demand for premier quality fiduciary services. Its directors provide complementary skillsets ranging across all aspects of the alternative investment industry, including risk management, legal, regulatory, audit, accounting, compliance, valuation, trading and recovery.
Ruddick (pictured), says: “We are pleased that our service model and approach to corporate governance has been well received. We continue to attract talent with a diverse skillset and are thrilled to have Laura join us as her depth of experience will further strengthen our fiduciary team.”
McGeever says: “I am excited to join a high-pedigree governance firm where I am able to support and complement the fiduciary team.”
McGeever has extensive experience advising clients in all aspects of regulatory compliance and fund governance, servicing a wide range of leading international financial institutions, investment banks and asset management companies.
She is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Company Secretaries (ICSA) and is an Accredited Director with the Cayman Islands Institute of Directors as well as a Member of 100 Women in Finance.
She has a First Class Honors Degree in International Business and Languages from Dublin City University and a Post Graduate Diploma in Management and Corporate Governance from the University of Ulster.
