During this period I have chaired the Board of Directors of 3 Financial Institutions (2 currently) and have been a board member of 6 Financial Institutions spanning 3 Caribbean jurisdictions - Trinidad and Tobago, Belize and Turks & Caicos Islands.

In addition to my involvement on the Boards of financial institution I have also had the opportunity to sit on the boards of several major companies and industry groups throughout the Caribbean and Central America.

In 2003 I was appointed a member of a Cabinet Appointed Committee To Review The Financial Sector of Trinidad & Tobago. This was soon followed by my appointment in 2004 to another Cabinet Appointed Committee to develop a Vision for 2020 for the economy of Trinidad and Tobago. During the period 2004-2008 I held the position of Managing Director, RBTT Merchant Bank (RMB), a regional investment bank which concluded a number of pioneering capital market transactions throughout the Caribbean and Central America.
