Suntera, the global independent provider of bespoke funds, corporate, and private wealth services, has appointed Gemma Qin to the role of Global Integration Director to support the firm’s ongoing growth and acquisitions strategy.
In her new role, Gemma will lead and coordinate Suntera’s global integration activities, enabling the firm to realise the full value of acquisitions and maintain the high standards of service and experience expected by both colleagues and clients.
Based in the UK, she will work closely with teams across Suntera’s global network and business functions to ensure people, processes and infrastructure are all successfully integrated in line with its ambitions and values. Suntera has made five strategic acquisitions over the last twelve months, bolstering its cross-border fund, corporate and fiduciary capabilities.
With 12 years’ experience working with senior executives, boards and investors across multiple industries in the US and UK, Gemma brings particular expertise in post-merger integration, synergy planning and management, operating model design and implementation, finance transformation and technology implementation.
Over a career based across New York and London, she has previously worked at one of the Big Four accountancy firms, a major global law firm, as well as an independent consultant, focused on supporting successful change and business growth for both blue chip corporations and private equity portfolio companies.
Commenting on her appointment, Gemma said: “Suntera has a clear ambition to grow both organically and through strategic acquisitions, and the quality and pace of its recent expansion create an exciting opportunity to build on that momentum. I’m looking forward to working with teams across the Group to develop a consistent and scalable approach to integration, bringing together our people, capabilities and technology while protecting what makes each acquired business successful. Done well, integration is not simply about combining businesses; it is about accelerating value creation for our clients, colleagues and the wider Group.
David Hudson, CEO of Suntera added: “Gemma brings a deep understanding of our business, a collaborative approach to bringing people together, and a proven ability to turn strategy into meaningful outcomes. She will undoubtedly play a key role as we continue to strengthen and scale our global organisation and successfully bring together the various components that make Suntera so special. I’m delighted to welcome her to our team.”
