A former professional footballer, who joined the international wealth manager in 2025 as its first specialist advisor to sports and media clients, now heads the division.

Skybound Wealth, an international wealth management group serving clients whose careers and assets span several jurisdictions, has appointed Jamie Proctor (main picture) as head of its Athletes & Creators division.

Proctor, who played professionally in the English football leagues before qualifying as a financial planner, joined the firm in September 2025 as the division’s first private wealth advisor. He will lead its day-to-day development, including recruitment and relationships across sport and digital media, while continuing to advise clients directly.

The division was launched in August 2025 to serve professional athletes, content creators and their families. It covers cash flow, protection, investments and pensions, alongside tax and cross-border planning for clients whose income can change quickly, whether through an international transfer, a retirement from sport or fluctuating platform earnings.

According to the firm, the team now works with Premier League and European and Women’s Super League clubs, one of the world’s largest multi-club ownership groups and international sports and entertainment agencies. It has also built a network in the Saudi Pro League as well as expanding into boxing and media.

Proctor’s colleagues include former Scotland international footballer Christophe Berra and Team GB Olympic boxer Delicious Orie, both qualified advisors, and Emmanuel Asuquo, a private wealth advisor at Skybound Wealth UK who is also a broadcaster and author. They draw on the group’s tax specialists, its Cross-Border Support Desk and its proprietary Plume technology, including the MoneyMap forecasting tool.

Proctor, from Preston in the UK northwest, has played in the English Football League for his home town club as well as teams such as Swansea City, Crawley Town, Fleetwood Town, Scunthorpe, United, Newport County, Wigan Athletic and Bradford City. He has also appeared for Bolton Wanderers and Carlisle United, as well as Rotherham United. He retired as a professional last year.
