“It is an opportune moment for a new leader with a fresh perspective to help shape the future direction of our industry. After a long and privileged career as an ambassador for Jersey, I plan to transition to a non-executive career in financial services as a board director and adviser,” Cook said.
The Jersey Finance board is currently working alongside the Appointments Commission to search for Cook’s replacement.
Jersey Finance chairman Gunther Thumann said: “On behalf of the Jersey Finance Board, I would like to sincerely thank Geoff for his fantastic contribution to Jersey Finance and the success of our industry over his 12 years of service.
