Ben Bennett
Finance Director
I have worked in the financial services industry for nearly 30 years and have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to develop my career working in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Having held senior distribution positions with the major life assurer Old Mutual International and then the boutique Dutch private bank Insinger de Beaufort, I co-founded Infinity Financial Solutions in 2004.
My responsibilities include the financial management of the company's affairs as well as overseeing the compliance, regulatory and human resource functions. I am particularly interested in risk management both from our clients' perspective as well as protecting the business. I am also interested in the changing regulatory environment the international financial services industry faces and the challenges of managing these developments across a multi-jurisdictional business.
In addition to my responsibilities at Infinity I am also a columnist for Expatriate Lifestyle magazine.
