[Finextra](https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/111306/skybound-wealth-appoints-former-footballer?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed) reported the appointment on October 16, 2026. Proctor joined the firm in September 2025 as the division's first Private Wealth Adviser.\n\n## Proctor's Move From Football To Financial Planning\n\nProctor spent nearly two decades as a professional footballer in the English leagues. Alongside his playing career he studied at three universities, earning a first-class degree in Professional Sports Writing and Broadcasting and a degree in Business and Accounting, before moving into financial services and qualifying as a regulated financial planner. He holds the CII Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (DipPFS) and is a member of the Chartered Insurance Institute.\n\nThe promotion gives the division a dedicated leader accountable for bringing its people, expertise and resources together as it grows. The company said the appointment strengthens the leadership of the division.\n\n## How The Athletes & Creators Division Was Built\n\nAthletes & Creators launched in August 2025 to serve professionals whose careers peak early, whose income is volatile and whose lives often involve more than one country. Since launch, the division has added a dedicated Cross-Border Support Desk, formalising support for relocations, residency changes and international income that previously sat across Skybound's global advisory network. It has introduced a global tax-planning capability led by Skybound's Group Head of Tax Planning, and fully integrated Skybound's proprietary Plume technology, giving advisers and clients a coordinated view of income, assets and plans across jurisdictions, with the MoneyMap forecasting tool to model how a change in circumstances could affect the longer-term position.\n\nThe division's advisory team includes former Scotland international footballer Christophe Berra and Team GB Olympic boxer Delicious Orie, both qualified financial advisers. It also draws on Emmanuel Asuquo, a Private Wealth Adviser, broadcaster and author.\n\n## Skybound's Wider Leadership And Division Moves\n\n[Skybound Wealth Management](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0006xni/skybound-wealth-management) has made other leadership and division moves, according to [akta.pro company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). In June 2026 the firm appointed Douglas Ryan as Private Wealth Adviser in Dubai, a 15-year veteran from ANZ, Value Plus Financial Services, and Change Accountants & Advisors, to build out dedicated coverage of Australian expatriates. In May 2026 it hired Kieron Franklin as Group Head of Property & Finance, bringing more than 30 years across HSBC, RAKBANK, Commercial Bank of Dubai, and Saudi Awwal Bank to lead the new property division. The same records show Skybound launched Skybound Property & Finance in May 2026, a dedicated division providing joined-up decisions across property, lending, and wealth planning for private clients and families.\n\nThe same records describe Skybound Wealth Management as a Dubai-headquartered, multi-jurisdictional independent financial advisory firm providing cross-border wealth, pension, and investment planning to high-net-worth expatriates across the UAE, UK, Switzerland, Cyprus, Spain, and the USA. The firm has operated for over 20 years, since approximately 2004, and has offices across the UAE, Switzerland, UK, Cyprus, and Spain.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
