Cayman-based alternative fund governance specialist Danesmead Partners has appointed ex Goldman Sachs Executive Director Emma Stevens as a principal of the firm, and to head up its London office.

Stevens (pictured), will serve as a consultant and independent director to startup and established alternative investment groups, as well as serving as the head of European Business Development for Danesmead.
 
With over 14 years’ experience at Goldman Sachs both as an Executive Director in the Prime Brokerage Consulting group (with a focus on regulation, corporate governance & operational due diligence), and as head of Prime Brokerage Compliance EMEA, Emma has assisted hedge fund managers across a wide range of business and regulatory areas.
 
She has been a regular speaker at industry events on topics including regulatory change, governance, ODD and compliance.
 
Greg Bennett and Nick Gaze, Co-Founders of Danesmead, says: “We are delighted to be adding someone with Emma’s experience to our team, and we believe that having offices in Cayman, New York and now London, combined with a further diversity in our knowledge, enables us to continue to improve the breadth and depth of our services to investors and investment managers.”
