Board Appointment

FastForward is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Lance De Jersey to the Board as Finance Director and Chief Operating Officer ("COO") with immediate effect. Ian Burns, currently the Company's COO and Chief Financial Officer, will retire from his current role within the Company but will continue as a Non-Executive Director.

 

Lance De Jersey (ACIS) is member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators and Institute of Directors. Lance spent 7 years (2010-2017) at Partners Group, the Swiss based private equity group, culminating in his role as head of Partners Group's Guernsey office, serving on the Guernsey boards and chairing the Risk & Audit and AML committees and a member of the Investment Oversight committee.  He has over eight years' experience in private equity investment administration and management.

 
Prior to this, Mr De Jersey owned and operated retail franchises, marketed and sold small businesses as a business broker and worked as a financial adviser in New Zealand.  He is currently a non-executive director of Pearl Holding Limited (an investment fund managed by Partners Group) and is former secretary and vice chairman of the Channel Island Private Equity and Venture Capital Association.


Jim Mellon, Chairman, commented: "Ian Burns had indicated a wish to step away from an executive role with the Company to allow him to focus on his other projects, but I am pleased that we will still have access to his knowledge and experience as a non-executive director. At the same time, we are delighted to welcome Lance to the Board of FastForward where we feel his background in working in the regulated funds industry in Guernsey will be of considerable benefit to FastForward Innovations. We remain excited by the opportunities within our existing investee company portfolio and hope that Lance can assist in developing these to realise value for our Shareholders."
