Following the enactment of the Citizenship by Investment Unit Act of 2024, the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis formally appointed the Board of Governors on 26 July 2024. This strategic move aims to elevate the Programme’s governance, ensuring world-class standards and transparency. 

Introducing The Board of Governors  

The Citizenship by Investment Unit Act, passed on 14 June 2024, solidifies the Programme’s evolution by establishing the Citizenship by Investment Unit as a corporate body governed by the Board of Governors. By entrusting the Board with the oversight and management of the Unit, the Act signifies a commitment to professionalism, due diligence, and international cooperation within the Programme. 

Leading the Board of Governors is the esteemed His Excellency Calvin St. Juste, a seasoned Wall Street executive with a wealth of expertise in finance, cybersecurity, and client management.  

Alongside him, a diverse team of five members, including Dr. Louisa Lawrence, Mr. Damille James, Ms. Kishma Maclean, Mr. Carlton Pogson, and Ms. Marsha Harris, contribute their unique skills in finance, business, and governance to streamline the Unit’s operations and uphold the highest standards of integrity. 

Leading the Way  

The Board of Governors is tasked with modernising the Citizenship by Investment Unit, ensuring compliance, and enhancing due diligence practices.  

With a focus on policy development, financial oversight, and investment proposal review, the Board plays a pivotal role in maintaining the Programme’s reputation as a premier provider of economic citizenship services. 

As the Board of Governors takes the reins of the Citizenship by Investment Programme, St. Kitts and Nevis solidifies its position as a global leader in the industry. The dedication to excellence, transparency, and international standards exemplified by the Board sets a new standard for economic citizenship, attracting discerning investors worldwide.
