Augentius Fund Administration has appointed Glyn Thomas as managing director of its Guernsey office.

Thomas joined Augentius from PricewaterhouseCoopers as a senior accountant seven years ago, working with the firm’s first private equity clients.

He has a strong technology background and was heavily involved in the implementation of Sungard Investran, the accounting and reporting platform used within the business.

Thomas subsequently led a team of staff with a varied client portfolio and, following the MBO of the business, became a member of the executive, leading the training and technical team.

During 2009, Thomas was instrumental in the development of Augentius Fund Administration (New York), spending a considerable amount of time in the development of the US team and the integration of new business.

Ian Kelly, partner and chief operating officer Europe, says: “Glyn has developed into a key member of the team and his appointment in Guernsey is a great opportunity for Glyn to further develop his career within Augentius.”

“We have grown Augentius from an embryonic business into an award winning global player, within the private equity and property sectors in a very short space of time,” adds Thomas. “I am very proud of what we have achieved and am very much looking forward to growing the business further, here in Guernsey, and continuing to deliver the highest levels of service to our clients from this important jurisdiction.”
