Praxis appoints Ciaran O’Neill as MD to lead Guernsey Private Wealth team

01 July 2025

Praxis has strengthened its senior leadership in Guernsey with the appointment of experienced private wealth specialist Ciaran O’Neill as Managing Director of its Guernsey Private Wealth & Corporate Services team.

Having joined the firm earlier this year, Ciaran’s promotion reflects Praxis’ continued investment in its people and commitment to supporting international individuals, families and family offices with complex, cross-border needs.

Ciaran brings nearly 30 years of experience in the trust and private wealth sector, having held senior roles across Guernsey, London and Singapore for a major Swiss private bank. Since joining Praxis, he has made a strong impact on the Guernsey leadership team, championing a collaborative culture and maintaining a clear focus on service quality and operational excellence.

In his new role, he leads the Guernsey team in delivering private wealth and corporate services, with a particular focus on long-term client relationships, cross-border structuring, and sound governance.

Ciaran said: “As an independent firm, Praxis has the scale, capability and culture to deliver for our clients and people. We want to be recognised as the best team on the island and the employer of choice in our sector.

“The landscape for our industry is constantly evolving. With our infrastructure, global reach and focus on people, we’re well placed to support that change – especially building on our excellent family office services.”

Praxis was recently shortlisted in the STEP Private Client Awards for Trust Company of the Year (Large Firm), underlining the strength of its global team and the quality of service it delivers across jurisdictions.

Rob Fearis, Chief Executive Officer, added: “This appointment marks a significant step for our Guernsey operation. Ciaran’s strong leadership, global experience and deep industry knowledge significantly strengthen our team. I’m confident his vision will help us continue to deliver the high standards our clients expect.”
