CHARLESTOWN, Nevis – March 30, 2026 – The Nevis Branch of the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) has formally announced the appointment of Andre Cadogan as its new Senior Regigator, with the appointment taking effect on March 1, 2026.
Cadogan succeeds Heidi-Lynn Sutton, who completed her tenure in the role after a period of committed public service to the Nevis FSRC branch. With more than 30 years of multifaceted experience across the global banking and financial services sectors, Cadogan brings deep expertise spanning senior executive leadership, enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance, and large-scale project management to the senior leadership post.
In his new role, Cadogan will support the FSRC in advancing its core mandate: licensing, ongoing supervision, and comprehensive oversight of all financial entities that operate within Nevis or from the jurisdiction. His broad portfolio covers strategic organizational leadership, end-to-end regulatory oversight and compliance monitoring, development and administrative implementation of regulatory legislation, stakeholder engagement with industry and government partners, and advisory guidance for the commission’s strategic initiatives.
Before taking up this appointment, Cadogan held a series of senior leadership roles across the Caribbean financial industry, most recently serving as Vice President of Compliance at Deriv. He previously held the position of Chief Executive Officer at The St. Vincent Cooperative Bank Limited, and served as Country Head for St. Kitts, Grenada, and St. Vincent at CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank.
Academically and professionally, Cadogan holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of the West Indies’ Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business and Management. He is also a Certified Associate in Project Management through the Project Management Institute, and holds an Accredited Director designation from the Governance Training Institute of Canada.
In comments following his appointment, Cadogan shared that he aims to bring a new, forward-looking perspective to regulatory risk management for Nevis’ financial sector. He noted that while regulatory risk presents substantial challenges for both Nevis and the broader Caribbean region, the landscape is also increasingly complex, requiring regulators to strike a careful balance between mitigating emerging threats and unlocking new growth opportunities for the jurisdiction. He added that he is eager to contribute to meaningful, lasting transformation across Nevis’ financial services ecosystem.
Honourable Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis and Minister of Finance in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), publicly welcomed Cadogan’s appointment, expressing strong confidence that the new Senior Regulator’s extensive industry and regulatory experience will advance ongoing government and commission efforts to strengthen and modernize Nevis’ financial services regulatory framework.
