Citrus Capital is pleased to announce the appointment of Soleil Longue as Head of Compliance and SMF16/17 (Compliance Oversight and Money Laundering Reporting Officer).
Soleil brings more than 30 years of experience in financial services regulation, compliance and governance. She spent over 13 years at the Financial Services Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority, where she worked across authorisations, approved persons assessments, financial crime investigations and regulatory supervision for banks, investment firms and insurance intermediaries.
Following her time at the regulator, Soleil held senior compliance and advisory roles across a number of global financial institutions and regulated firms, including BlackRock, Mercer, AXA, State Street, BGC Partners/Cantor Fitzgerald and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group. Her work has included leading SMCR implementation programmes, advising boards and senior management on regulatory governance, and developing compliance and financial crime frameworks across the UK and international markets.
Soleil joins Citrus Capital as the firm continues to build its regulatory and governance infrastructure as a newly established FCA authorised firm. In her role, she will be responsible for oversight of the firm’s compliance framework, regulatory engagement and financial crime controls, ensuring the business operates in accordance with FCA rules and wider market regulation.
Jayceon Barry, Chief Executive Officer of Citrus Capital, said:
“Soleil’s appointment is an important step for Citrus Capital as we continue building the firm. Her deep regulatory background and practical experience across major financial institutions bring strong credibility and discipline to our governance framework. As a newly established firm, it is critical that we build the right foundations from day one, and Soleil’s leadership will play a central role in that.”
