A seasoned financial services executive and entrepreneur, John Evans concentrates on offshore banking, asset protection, international companies, trusts, LLCs and cross-border financial services. Drawing on more than twenty years across banking, international finance and business leadership, he offers strategic direction to high-net-worth individuals, professional advisers and international clients in search of well-established offshore solutions.

As Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Our team, John heads a specialist firm dedicated to offshore services and business introductions. Our firm links clients with licensed and regulated financial service providers, such as trustee companies, banks, asset managers, accountants, lawyers and registered agents. The heart of John's work lies in grasping what clients aim to achieve, pinpointing suitable providers and assisting in the coordination of international banking, company, trust and asset-protection engagements.

Prior to founding Our team, John devoted more than ten years to Capital Security Bank Limited, climbing from Operations Manager to Chief Operations Officer and eventually Chief Executive Officer. Throughout these senior positions, his responsibilities spanned banking operations, compliance and risk management, treasury functions, correspondent and investment banking relationships, client service and business development.

Under John's leadership, Capital Security Bank saw improvements in operational performance, regulatory compliance and its international service offering. Having personally led a private bank, he holds a thorough grasp of offshore banking relationships, onboarding requirements, risk assessment, treasury operations and the real-world factors that come with serving international clients.

John has additionally maintained a long-running directorship with the Cook Islands Finance Service Development Agency, the government body charged with promoting and supporting the Cook Islands financial services sector. In this capacity his work has involved oversight and support tied to international trusts, offshore companies, LLCs, banking, insurance and international industry partnerships.

Early on in his career, John built up wide-ranging experience in retail banking and financial services. Serving as a Branch Manager at Westpac, he handled financial operations, risk assessments and business-unit performance across several Cook Islands locations. Earlier roles as a Finance Broker at Credit Express and a Customer Service Officer at ASB Bank gave him a solid grounding in lending, risk assessment and client relationship management.

John additionally belongs to the Forbes Business Council. Bringing together executive banking leadership, offshore financial services expertise and hands-on international business experience, he takes a commercially minded approach to intricate financial structures and provider relationships.

Via Our team, John stays devoted to helping clients and professional advisers reach reputable offshore trustees, banks, corporate service providers and specialist advisers.
