The second CBI 101 Podcast features an insightful conversation with His Excellency Calvin St. Juste, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU).
LAUNCHING THE OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN
One of the key topics discussed is the recent launch of the Office of the Chairman.
This new office underscores the commitment to ensuring a more streamlined and transparent approach to managing the country’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme.
ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS GLOBALLY
Chairman St. Juste explains that, in a global business such as CBI, it’s essential to engage with stakeholders around the world. He shares how his travels are aimed at building relationships with shareholders and clients, thereby creating new opportunities and strengthening the Programme’s international presence.
INTRODUCTION OF NEW SOFTWARE TO ENHANCE EFFICIENCY
An important part of the discussion revolves around the introduction of new software designed to improve the application process for CBI. This innovative technology will help streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and ultimately deliver a better experience for applicants and stakeholders alike.
