Ridhiima said: "I have been with Ogier for more than 10 years and it has been a privilege to be a part of the firm and experience my journey from an articled clerk to managing associate during this time. I could not have done it without our support network. I look forward to this new role."

Richard said: "I am proud to be one of the initial staff members when Ogier Global started up in 2017. It has been a privilege to be a part of such a diverse and forward-thinking firm. I am excited for this next chapter in my career and look forward to continued growth both personally and for OGL."
Edward Baker, part of Ogier Global's Cayman Regulatory Reporting team, has been promoted from corporate administrator to senior regulatory analyst. Edward is responsible for providing support to Ogier Global's Corporate team with regulatory reporting. "Ogier Global has supported my career in many ways, which has been extremely beneficial to my professional development," he said. "I am eager to continue my development with the firm and I am truly grateful for the team and firm's support."
Ralston Thorpe, part of Ogier Global's Corporate team, has been promoted from Senior Corporate Administrator to Regulatory Reporting Manager. Ralston is responsible for managing and overseeing Ogier Global's regulatory reporting.
