Chris Scott, Chartered FCSI: 1952–2017
Remembering Chris Scott, a former board member and Chartered Fellow of the CISI
Chris Scott, Chartered FCSI, a former board member of the CISI, has died at the age of 64. He was an enthusiastic and conscientious CISI member, always helpful, always encouraging, always keen to help younger colleagues develop their careers through the kind of active and positive engagement with the Institute that was his hallmark.
Chris joined the CISI Jersey Branch committee in 2001 and then became its president from 2002 until 2006. He served on the CISI board from 2004 to 2010, and was on the international, investment, and membership committees until he passed away.
He was universally admired and liked by Institute members and staff, from the newest recruits to the longest-standing board members. “A true gentleman” was never a more apt description.
In his business life, Chris spent 46 years working in the financial services industry. He began his career as an accountant in the 1970s and subsequently worked for HSBC, Royal Bank of Canada, and Royal Bank of Scotland, including a two-year stint in Hong Kong from 1988-90. Most recently, he had worked for Jersey-based Quilter Cheviot since 2010.
Chris was a devoted family man and was married to Veronica for 35 years. We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Veronica, the couple's sons Nick and Antony and the rest of the Scott family.
