Marilyn Brathwaite

Co-Founder and Director of Administration and Partner Relations

Marilyn spent seventeen years at a multinational corporation across the UK, Ireland and EMEA, managing a P&L in excess of USD 500M with responsibility for contract management, SOX corporate governance and financial disclosure.

For the past six years she has worked with owner-managers on international business and wealth structures, trusts and operating companies. That combination, large-company financial governance alongside close work with owner-managers, is what shapes the group's standard for how a structure should be run once it is in place.

Alanna Brathwaite

Head of Commercial Operations

Alanna leads business development in Canada, advising small to medium-sized businesses on international tax consultancy and cross-border structuring. She has a particular focus on trust companies and fintech structuring, helping money services businesses and payment platforms build compliant, bankable structures that protect end-user funds and support sustainable growth across the Americas.

Alongside her advisory work, Alanna brings a distinctive engineering discipline to client engagements. Trained as a chemical engineer, she spent several years in consulting and project management, delivering complex, high-capital projects in Canada. That experience shapes her structured, execution-focused approach to structuring mandates, where precision and follow-through matter as much as the plan itself.

Alanna holds a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and is based in Canada, where she is the principal point of contact for Canadian clients.

Rianna Holas

Business Development Manager

Rianna leads private-client engagements, drawing on over eight years' experience in international corporate services, trust and estate administration, and regulatory compliance. She leads AML and CFT compliance for the firm, work that sits close to the compliance obligations an MSB carries under the RPAA.

She also advises on company formation, corporate governance and company administration, and serves as a director on a number of client companies, overseeing statutory compliance, board governance and regulatory affairs. Alongside that, she guides individuals and families relocating to Barbados through property, immigration and settling-in support.

Rianna holds a bachelor's degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management and is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and the Barbados Association of Compliance Professionals.
