Michelle Le Herissier

Michelle was also the MD at JTC British Virgin Islands. She is strong, yet compassionate and very empowering to everyone around her. She has lead us through some very trying times and she’d never falter. She fought for what was best for the company and her staff and often put her staff before herself. She is the perfect example of what leadership is all about.

Having previously worked with Michelle, I can stand witness to her passion as well as significantly, her compassion and I am delighted to see her recognised in these awards.

Michelle is dedicated to providing service excellence for her clients by fostering the best in her team. Michelle has actively sought to develop her personal and professional skills by consciously placing herself in new and diverse cultural settings. Each new cultural (country) environment has allowed her to deepen her understand of 'self' and 'other' and the opportunities that can be developed by embracing and utilizing diversity. Michelle embraces challenges and thrives through problem-solving, ever raising the bar for herself and her team. She is committed to the vision of female empowerment and cultivating the profile of female leaders in the financial industry. As a mentor, Michelle encourages young women to pursue their own professional dreams. She is a community and environmental advocate dedicated to improving individual and global health and wealth. Michelle knows that care for one's family takes priority and has created teams that know how to step forward and fill in to support others. It is exciting to see Michelle recognized and is truly worthy of the Powerwomen Award.

Michelle is the consummate professional. She has enormous amounts of energy and enthusiasm, which is both inspiring and infectious. She was a joy to work with and is always top of my list for ‘go to’ people when in need!

I worked with Michelle when she was Managing Director of JTC's BVI office and she entrenched herself in the BVI's financial services industry. She is a key player in financial services, is always incredibly responsive and a real pleasure to work with.

A determined problem solver whose combination of tenacity and good spirit doesn't just solve the issue at hand but brings her entire team with her. Trustworthy, timely and very client focused. Very easy to recommend.

Michelle's enthusiasm, energy and can-do attitude are just some of the wonderful attributes that make it a pleasure to work with her. As one of the most experienced and hard-working professionals in private wealth operations in the Caribbean, you know you are in safe hands with Michelle.
