Prior to Standard Life, Hollis served as regional director of the Middle East & Africa at both P2 International (Bermuda) Ltd and Old Mutual (Bermuda) Ltd. He also held several roles at HSBC Bank throughout the region.
Lessing said: "Our expansion into the UAE builds off our success in Latin America and Asia, where advisors and clients of leading wealth management firms have demonstrated significant and growing demand for our guaranteed investment products.
"We are confident the same demand exists in the Middle East for Beechwood’s attractive rates and unique monthly step-up features, coupled with the security of our guarantees and segregated account structures."
