We are delighted to announce the promotions of both Sara Collister to Chief Operating Officer and Diane Cregeen to Head of Governance, Risk and Compliance in a move that shows the continued growth of our Independent Investment Management and Fund Administration business here on the Isle of Man.
Sara, joined FIM Capital in 2014 as Senior Investment Co-ordinator before being promoted to Head of Offshore Administration. Having attained the IoD Diploma in Company Direction, she was invited to join the Board in 2023 as Client Services Director. In her new role, Sara will oversee the firm’s digital transformation program while empowering the investment and fund administration teams to drive greater operational efficiency, all while maintaining the excellent levels of service that FIM prides itself on.
Diane, having originally worked with the business between 2017 and 2021 as compliance officer, returned to FIM in 2024 as Head of Compliance and Risk. Her background across the financial services sector spans a wide range of roles, including investments, client relationship management and back-office administration and this breadth of experience gives a deep understanding of the industry. Diane holds the ICA Diploma in AML, which combined with her Diploma in Governance, Risk and Compliance combines this knowledge with a well-rounded perspective to the role. Her recent promotion incorporates Governance and strengthens her wider remit within the business.
FIM Capital CEO, David Bushe, said that these two promotions continue the growth expansion journey FIM are on, promoting operational excellence and a strong Governance, risk and compliance framework.
“Sara has been with FIM for over 12 years, and having worked across all aspects of the business, I am delighted that she will be aiding FIM Capital on our journey of digital transformation and operational efficiency. That means even better service to our clients with the ability to automate, optimise and enhance our processes.
We cannot hide away from the fact MoneyVal will be visiting later this year, but from FIM’s perspective, we continue to ensure the highest standards of compliance, risk and Governance frameworks are in place, ensuring that we adhere to the regulatory frameworks in front of us, which aid us in protecting our staff and our clients. Since Diane rejoined in 2024, we have continued to provide and enhance this framework, and I am excited for Diane to continue in her new role.”
