Ogier Global has appointed Ronnie Griffin and Fiona Coughlan as Independent Non-Executive Directors to the board of its Irish fund administration entity, enhancing its commitment to strong corporate governance and expert guidance. 

Ogier Global, Ogier's corporate and fiduciary services division, provides corporate, fund and private wealth services across all major financial hubs. With strong governance and leadership structures in each jurisdiction, clients benefit from expert industry insights brought by highly regarded industry professionals. The team collaborates closely with Ogier's legal and regulatory divisions to provide clients with comprehensive and integrated services. 

Following the news of Ogier Global's fund administration licence by the Central Bank of Ireland,  Ogier Global's Irish funds offering is further enhanced by Ronnie and Fiona's extensive domestic and international financial market experience. Their leadership plays a critical role in ensuring effective oversight and compliance with evolving regulatory demands, significantly contributing to the firm's engagement with sponsors and service providers. 

Ogier Global Chief Operating Officer Jamie Bore said: “With these new board appointments, Ogier Global is well positioned to continue delivering exceptional service and governance to our clients. We remain committed to innovation and leadership in the financial services sector.” 

Introducing Ronnie Griffin

Ronnie Griffin joins Ogier Global's board of directors with nearly three decades of expertise in fund services. Known for his strong background in corporate governance, audit, funds operations and regulatory compliance, he offers invaluable insights into handling complex financial matters.

Ronnie has overseen key operational and governance functions across multiple jurisdictions. During his career, he spent more than 20 years at HSBC where he led its depositary, trustee and fiduciary services, contributing to strategic decision-making at executive and non-executive levels.

Commenting on his appointment, Ronnie said: “I am excited to join the board of Ogier Global in Ireland as they expand their global administration offering across key domiciles worldwide and I look forward to supporting their innovation and growth ambitions.”

Introducing Fiona Coughlan 

Fiona Coughlan is an independent non-executive director with 25 years’ experience across financial services institutions in Dublin and London. She has worked extensively with operations, risk management, compliance, investment management, product management, sales and client service teams. 

Fiona has extensive experience in client and fund launches, mergers, transitions and fund registration. She was the chair of the Irish Funds middle office working group until March 2024, having previously been a member of its head of operations working group. 

Fiona said: "Ogier Global has brought together an experienced team to create a compelling, value-led service proposition for prospective clients, supported by a collaborative, people-led culture within the Ogier Group. I look forward to working with the team as they continue to build out their vision for fund administration services."
