Originally from the UK, Gordon moved to Guernsey in 2007 to accept the job of COO for the global private equity fund administration business of Schroders, following a nine-year tenure as Head of Finance for their Bermuda division. He then held a number of other senior positions in Guernsey, including Senior Product Manager for J.P. Morgan’s private equity and real estate services business.
