Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Rupert Pleasant
reflects on his first few months in the job and the challenges the
promotional agency has faced...
It wasn't so easy starting a new job in the middle of
lockdown – particularly one where your mandate is to promote
Guernsey around the world, and nobody is travelling.
But leading Guernsey Finance is a role I have been more than
interested in for a while, and so to be given this opportunity
– whatever the global circumstances – is both a
challenge and a privilege.
After having met the GF team via Zoom and Teams calls, one of my
first moves was to consider our global presence.
I am, by nature, a business development professional. I have
worked in such roles across Asia, South Africa, Switzerland and in
Guernsey, so it is an issue close to my heart, and one I am keen
that we get right to maximise our opportunities in our chosen
markets.
