About the Firm

A focused practice for institutional clients.

Liguanea Advisory Group is a Kingston-based consultancy advising senior leaders at Caribbean financial institutions on operational performance, technology transformation, and strategic execution.

The firm was established to bring institutional-grade advisory capabilities to a market that has traditionally relied on overseas consultancies or in-house resources stretched thin by competing priorities.

Engagements are led personally by the principal and structured around measurable outcomes — not billable hours.
