The London-based private equity firm Anacap on 25 March announced that it was Fiduciaire Jean-Marc Faber, opening a new chapter for the two firms. On Thursday 3 April, they announced the appointment Johan van den Berg as group CEO of Fiduciaire Jean-Marc Faber.
Van den Berg has more than 20 years of experience in financial services. After a few years with KPMG in the Netherlands, he joined corporate services provider Trustmoore in Luxembourg in 2013, serving as global head of business development and managing director for more than 12 years. There he was responsible for global business development, supporting and coordinating activities to develop new markets and services.
“Working with such an incredible team has been a blast. After moving with my family to Luxembourg 12 years ago and helping to build Trustmoore Luxembourg from the ground up, the journey has been remarkable. Together, we transitioned from a small business to a reputable corporate service provider and fund administrator with AIFM services,” van den Berg said two weeks ago when he announced his departure from Trustmoore. Indeed, he contributed to the development of the firm, which has become a major player in corporate services and fund administration.
In his new role as CEO of the Fiduciaire Jean-Marc Faber, the chartered accountant--who says he has “a passion for fiduciary services”--will be responsible for implementing the new strategic roadmap in terms of organic growth and M&A ambitions.
“I’m excited to start this new chapter and partner with Anacap and the entire FJMF team,” van den Berg commented upon the announcement of his appointment. “I chose this project because I strongly believe in Anacap’s vision: The fiduciary industry is starting a deep consolidation. By building on Jean-Marc’s strong legacy, our aim is to combine internal and external growth to become a leading player in the corporate, fund and trust services sector.”
The new CEO will work closely with the firm’s partners, Jean-Marc Faber, Christophe Mouton and Daniel Galhano, as well as the management team.
“We are pleased to be working with Johan and are very excited by what lays ahead of us for this new chapter. Johan’s experience and shared ambitions convinced us that he is the right person to support us in our growth journey. We have very high ambitions for the company as we look to continue expanding the value proposition for our clients," said FJMF founder and managing partner Jean-Marc Faber.
Anacap director Steven Gringoire was also delighted with the arrival of the new group CEO. “Very early on, it was clear that Johan shared our ambitions and we are convinced he will be a key complementary addition to the existing management team. He brings a wealth of experience across both corporate and fund services, and will be instrumental in enabling FJMF grow further through organic and M&A initiatives,” he said.
