Country Head of Alter Domus Mauritius discusses technology, talent development, and the country’s evolving role as a global financial platform.

How do you lead a business in an industry where technology and investor expectations are evolving simultaneously?

Technology is increasingly important, but people remain just as critical. Advanced systems cannot deliver results without the right expertise, while strong talent without the right technology will struggle to scale efficiently. At Alter Domus, we invest in both: developing our people through continuous training while accelerating AI and automation. Clients expect real-time reporting, deeper data analysis, and stronger communication tools. Investors also want administrators to play a more strategic role, understanding their business while managing operational and compliance requirements.

AI is reshaping process-driven industries. Where do you see the greatest disruption and value?

AI is already improving efficiency and productivity. We use it daily to analyse documents, process information, and enhance workflows. AI is also transforming repetitive administrative processes through automated document scanning and data population. That said, strong governance is essential supported by clear accountability, robust controls, and well-defined guidelines on how AI is implemented and used.

Mauritius continues to face the emigration of skilled workers. How important is local talent?

Local talent remains fundamental. Mauritius continues to face professionals leaving for international exposure and career advancement. At the same time, the country has invested in building capabilities in fund accounting, administration and compliance through recognized training porograms* delivered by a range of recognized institutions.

At Alter Domus Mauritius, we develop university graduates through practical experience and structured training. Our international mobility programme also creates cross-border development opportunities, helping people build global careers while staying connected to Mauritius.

What will strengthen Mauritius’ position as a global financial hub?

Mauritius remains attractive due to its political stability, strong legal framework, and cost competitiveness. To remain competitive, the country must continue improving the ease of doing business. Technology adoption will also play an increasingly central role in the future financial landscape, and Mauritius should continue to expand its use of digital tools across the sector. Finally, developing and retaining skilled local talent must remain a priority to sustain Mauritius’ position as a leading International Financial Center.
