17 December 2025 Oak Bahamas strengthens team with three new appointments
Oak is pleased to announce the appointment of three talented professionals to its growing team in The Bahamas.
Acquilla Aranha has joined as Senior Trust Officer, Latoya H. as Trust Administrative Assistant & Document Management Specialist and Yolanda Hilton as Senior Manager, Compliance.
In April 2025, Opera Limited expanded Oak through the acquisition of Amber Trust Ltd. This strategic move grew Oak to over 250 employees across five jurisdictions.
Today, Oak Bahamas is home to a dynamic team of seven colleagues, committed to delivering high-touch client service underpinned by Oak’s values of integrity, responsiveness and exceptional client service.
The Bahamas team works closely with colleagues across jurisdictions to support clients with complex, cross-border wealth and succession planning needs. Their local expertise, combined with Oak’s international reach, ensures seamless, high-quality solutions for families managing a global asset base.
Deputy Managing Director, Cappucienne Richardson commented,
“We are thrilled to welcome Acquilla, Latoya and Yolanda to Oak Bahamas. Their professionalism, expertise and client-first mindset will be invaluable as we continue to grow our presence in the region. Oak’s expansion into The Bahamas strengthens our global platform and reinforces our commitment to excellence for our clients.”
The acquisition of Amber formed part of Project Overture, Opera’s five-year strategic growth plan focused on platform optimisation, organic growth and targeted acquisitions. By 2029, Opera aims to expand its geographic footprint, significantly increase its portfolio of businesses, and accelerate revenue and value growth, all while maintaining its client-first ethos.
At Oak, we are here to help you shape what comes next. To learn more, please get in touch with your usual contact.
