Progeny Strengthens Global Presence with New Leadership and Professional Standards

Progeny has announced the appointment of Chris Guy as the CEO of its Singapore office. The move coincides with the firm’s new status as an International Professional Partner Firm (IPPF) with the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), underscoring its commitment to upholding and advancing professional standards globally.

The Progeny brand in Singapore emerged following the acquisition of The Fry Group in 2022. This latest development sees the company continue its international growth strategy under a unified name.

Chris Guy joins Progeny with extensive leadership experience from a career spanning several global financial institutions, including Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank. After starting his career in London, Guy has spent nearly 20 years in the Asia-Pacific region, holding senior roles in country and regional management as well as Chief Operating Officer positions. Reflecting on his new role, he remarked that leading Progeny’s Singapore office presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the firm’s international expansion. He expressed enthusiasm for building an exceptional team and delivering consistently high standards for clients while helping Progeny establish its presence on the global stage.

Neil Moles, Progeny’s CEO, welcomed Guy to the team, highlighting his deep knowledge of Singapore and the Asia-Pacific market, along with the wealth of experience he brings from senior management roles in the financial sector. Moles emphasized that strengthening Progeny’s presence in Singapore is a critical component of its broader global growth ambitions and expressed optimism about the firm’s next phase with Guy at the helm.

Progeny’s new IPPF status reflects its commitment to professional ethics and excellence. This milestone aligns its Singapore office with its international counterparts in the UAE, Hong Kong, and Belgium. Ian Callaghan, President of the CII, noted that Progeny’s recognition as an IPPF is a testament to its adherence to the CII Code of Ethics and its leadership in driving professional standards and client outcomes.

Moles echoed this sentiment, describing the IPPF designation as the next step in Progeny’s journey to elevate professional standards in the financial advisory industry. He stressed the importance of Chartered status, both corporate and individual, in building trust, attracting the next generation of clients and advisors, and setting a benchmark for professionalism, ethics, and values in the UK and beyond.

With a refreshed brand, a talented team, and a clear vision for the future, Progeny continues to solidify its reputation as a leading global financial advisory firm.
