Chris van Vliet
Director for The Stenham Cannon Group. Qualifications: Bachelor of Arts (BA) (Hons), FCA, TEP.
After obtaining my BA Hons. in Accounting and Finance at Bournemouth University, I joined Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) in Guernsey where I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. During my time at PWC, I spent 5 years auditing a range of different structures and companies including several large-listed funds which gave me exposure to the insurance, pension, private equity, and fund sectors.
I then joined Cannon Asset Management, which later became part of the Group, where I worked primarily with the accounting team, as well as in the investment and administration teams. After 2 years I was promoted to the role of Trust and Fund Administration Assistant Manager. During this time, I regularly travelled to South Africa and Botswana as a Client Relationship Manager. After Cannon joined the Group, my remit was expanded to assist with Stenham relationship management as required.
I currently also sit on the board of several Cayman Island registered funds, Guernsey Funds and companies licensed under the Protection of Investors (Guernsey) Law.
After working as the manager of the Trust, Company, and Fund Administration departments, I was appointed Director for Cannon in 2020. I currently also sit on the board of several Cayman Island registered funds, Guernsey Funds and companies licensed under the Protection of Investors (Guernsey) Law.
In 2022, I was appointed to the board of Stenham Trustees where my roles include operational oversight, as well as client relationship management.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling to designations with a bias to natural beauty and wildlife. You might also find me playing cricket, watching all sports or hiking along Guernsey's amazing coastal cliffs on the weekends.
