Based in London, Chan will lead Belasko's sales function and wider new business development strategies. He will be responsible for driving new client growth and revenues across the group.

The firm said that Chan’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment as it continues to invest in growth whilst seeking to enhance the end-to-end user experience for both clients and their investors across the private markets ecosystem.

Chan, who has more than 25 years of experience in the alternative investments industry, brings a track record of leading high-performing commercial teams. Most recently, he served as regional head and managing director of Europe at Carta and was previously chief commercial officer UK at IQ-EQ.

In the first half of 2026, Belasko announced the appointment of Alex Di-Santo as group head of institutional, as reported here, marking a significant step in the continued expansion of the firm’s private capital and institutional services platform. Matthew Devine-Hill joined the business as head of funds, Jersey, further strengthening its Channel Islands funds leadership team. Earlier in September, the firm announced that it had appointed Calli De La Haye as chief people officer. Today, Belasko now has a team headcount of 140 professionals across its multiple locations in London, Luxembourg, Jersey and Guernsey.

"We are delighted to welcome Edwin to the Belasko team. His highly impressive experience, industry network and deep understanding of the alternative investment market make him an outstanding addition to our commercial team,” Di Santo said. “As we continue to grow the business and deliver on the ambition to shape the future of investor experience in private markets, Edwin's expertise will be instrumental in strengthening our market penetration, attracting new clients and accelerating Belasko’s next stage of growth.”
