GOAL Group Appoints Saghar Bigwood to Board of Directors
March 12 2009, 7:51 amGOAL Group, the leading class actions and tax reclamation services specialist, today announced the appointment of Saghar Bigwood to the Board of Directors.
Bigwood joined GOAL Group in 2003 from Citigroup, and has since played an instrumental role in developing the Company’s core marketplaces in securities services – helping customers reclaim withholding tax on cross-border securities income and providing securities litigation services.
Stephen Everard, Managing Director, GOAL Group, comments,
Saghar has made an enormous contribution to the Company over the past six years, managing our market development with insight and effectiveness. She brings her wealth of industry contacts, market knowledge and tax expertise to the Board, further strengthening our management team to take us through our current phase of strong market growth. The international financial markets crisis has generated a new wave of subprime-related class action lawsuits, with European and Asian investors seeking redress for their losses, and this has created increased market demand for the products and services offered by GOAL Group.
Saghar joined GOAL Group with an already considerable track record in tax services, having worked with Dai-Ichi Kangyo, Bank of America and Citigroup. In her latter role, she headed up the tax department, which was responsible for global tax services in all parts of the world except Asia.
