George said: “I am very honoured that the board of directors has elected me to be the next Chair of BVI Finance, an organisation that continues to do incredibly important work in promoting and protecting the financial services industry in the BVI. The next few months are likely to be especially significant ones for the jurisdiction, and I am looking forward to working with the BVI Finance team, my fellow directors, the BVI Government and the wider industry. I am confident that together we have the expertise to navigate the road ahead. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the outgoing Chair, Sabinah Clement of Vistra, for her leadership and hard work over her term. "
