Gibbons has more than 20 years of industry experience across wealth management, financial advice, and banking, having worked for various firms including Barclays Wealth, Santander, and Lloyds Bank. 

Most recently, he was head of wealth management at Fidelity International, where he was responsible for developing the business strategy and wealth management proposition to grow client numbers.

Gibbons, who focuses on growing advice businesses, has experience of managing businesses across different regulatory environments, including within the UK and its Crown Dependencies, the UAE and Africa, the firm added.

The appointment is the latest addition to the Nedbank Private Wealth team that reinforces its commitment to growth. Richard Sayers joined the Jersey team earlier this year as head of client development. See more commentary about the firm here.
