BF&M unveils new chairman of board

BF&M has appointed Anthony Joaquin as group chairman of its board of directors, according to a filing with the Bermuda Stock Exchange.

Joaquin has served on the company’s board as an independent non-executive director since 2006 and assumed the role of acting group chairman in December when John Wight stepped down from the group chairman’s role.

He has previously held senior roles as chairman of HSBC Bermuda, managing partner of the Bermuda office of EY, a director of Liberty Group, deputy chairman of the Bermuda Monetary Authority and president of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Bermuda.

BF&M group president and chief executive officer Abigail Clifford said: “I am extremely pleased that Tony has taken the helm as the group chairman of our board.

“During Tony’s tenure on our board, he has provided invaluable strategic guidance and leadership and was a natural choice. I look forward to working closely with Tony to ensure we are delivering necessary value for our stakeholders.”
