Platform Africa spoke to Francoise Chan, Executive Director, Intercontinental Trust Ltd (ITL), in the wake of her recent win at the Private Equity Africa awards in London in the special recognition category for Women in Private Equity. The same awards served to give ITL twice the reason to celebrate as the leading Mauritian fund services provider also won the award for Best Local Fund Administrator in a hotly contested category.

As ITL celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, Francoise shares her insights on what makes her prestigious win so special, marking her contributions for the last decade to this specialised sector.
