Intertrust has opened an office in Auckland, appointing David Ritchie as Country Director. The move reflects the company's focus on continued global expansion. Corporate secretarial and funds support teams for New Zealand clients will initially be based out of Sydney as Ritchie builds the team locally, working closely alongside Stephen Tamas, Managing Director of Intertrust Australia. Intertrust's office in New Zealand will follow the growing number of global clients that are heading to New Zealand via active fund investments and those multinationals looking to grow their international sales operations. David Ritchie has over 15 years' experience working in investment banking, corporate strategy and M&A in London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand.
