the reorganization of the then National Commercial Bank.
During his tenure he recapitalized and privatized the
bank and later merged it with the state owned local development
bank to form a sub-regional financial conglomerate involving
entities in universal and offshore banking, insurance
and property holding and owned by local, sub-regional
and Caribbean investors and structured to serve the OECS
sub-region. It is now the largest sub-regionally owned
financial group in Saint Lucia and arguably in the Eastern

use of their time and other resources, save generously,
invest wisely, aggressively pursue knowledge and optimally
and creatively use the acquired knowledge.
