The Small Countries Financial Management Centre (SCFMC) announced the appointment of a new executive director, Gary Roberts QPM.
Roberts served as the Chief Constable of the Isle of Man Constabulary for more than ten years until his retirement in March 2023.
He will be the third executive director of SCFMC since it was established in the Isle of Man in 2008. He follows Professor Tim Cullen MBE and the late Mark Shimmin MBE, who died in June 2023 after a long illness.
Stephen Pickford, chairman of the SCFMC board said: “I am delighted that our search for a new executive director has ended with the appointment of Gary Roberts.
Pickford says Roberts will bring a “unique combination of skills and experience” and his “insight into the challenges that small jurisdictions face” will provide relevant and meaningful training and development for public officials from small countries around the world.
Gary Roberts said: “I am delighted to have been offered the opportunity to lead the SCFMC as it continues its mission to build capacity at senior levels in the financial management of small countries.
“I have been aware of the SCFMC for a long time and I know how much of a difference it has made, giving opportunities to professionals to access world-class support. I am looking forward to getting to work, not just on the 2024 programme, but in helping the SCFMC meet some of the significant challenges that it faces.”
