Executive Series Continues
The GFSB Executive Series recently hosted a compelling Leadership Journey session, featuring an unfiltered, peer-to-peer conversation between two distinguished C-Suite executives: Gerry Kelly, Group CEO of Sovereign Trust, and Pete Yeoman, Chair of Vistage Gibraltar. This engaging event attracted business professionals eager for genuine insights into leadership decisions, growth and the complexities of managing today’s organisations.
Gerry Kelly, with a rich background in international financial services, has significantly shaped the landscape of Gibraltar’s financial sector. Beginning his career as a chartered accountant, he has since climbed the ranks through various prestigious roles in asset management and private banking across the Isle of Man and Jersey. Joining Sovereign Trust in 2002, Gerry was appointed Group CEO in 2018, overseeing the company’s diversification into insurance brokerage and retirement planning, as well as leading geographic expansion initiatives.
In his role as host, Pete Yeoman drew upon over 30 years of experience in banking and leadership development. As Chair of Vistage Gibraltar, he facilitates confidential peer forums, helping CEOs make better decisions under pressure. During the session, Gerry and Pete explored leadership from the inside out, offering practical wisdom and sharing valuable lessons that resonate with all business professionals, from seasoned CEOs to startup founders navigating complex challenges.
The event provided attendees with a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about leadership, resilience, and decision making in an ever evolving business environment. Both Kelly and Yeoman emphasised the importance of authenticity in leadership, encouraging participants to embrace transparency and foster open communications within their organisations.
As business leaders continue to face unprecedented change and uncertainty, the insights gained from this session serve as an invaluable resource, guiding them toward informed decision making and sustainable success in their respective fields. The GFSB Executive Series sponsored by Sovereign Penisons and Soveroiegn Insurance continues to be a vital platform for fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among Gibraltar’s business community.
Our next session will be held on 16th April with The Infinity Group Chairman – Mike Balfour. Join us by registering here
