Digital and creative company iCreate, which is being rebranded as Kintyre Holdings (JA), has changed its chief financial officer (CFO), replacing Chadwick Bennett with Andrew Wildish.

The change has been occasioned by Bennett’s resignation, which took effect on September 30, 2024. During his time with the Tyrone Wilson-led company, the management says Bennett played a pivotal role in helping the business navigate through some of its toughest times.  

Bennett’s tenure lasted for over a year, having been appointed on April 24, 2023, replacing Dwight Burchell. iCreate says Bennett’s “dedication and expertise were invaluable, and we are beyond grateful for his support. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”

His replacement in Andrew Wildish brings to Kintyre Holdings (JA) a wealth of experience in corporate finance, accounting, commercial banking, and investment management, having worked in the United States, Panama, and Jamaica. 

Academic credentials

Wildish holds a Master of Science (MSc) in Corporate Finance from The University of the West Indies and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Corporate Finance from The Ohio State University. 

His professional background includes working with prestigious institutions such as Jamaica National Group and York Investment Management. He has also served as CFO for several start-ups and early-stage ventures within the Musson Group. 

Most recently, Wildish was instrumental in raising over US$2 million in debt and equity capital as a financial advisor to iCreate and its connected entities, aiding in key acquisition initiatives. 

The iCreate management team is expressing confidence that his expertise and global network of funders will be invaluable as the company transitions to an investment holding company.

“We look forward to Mr Wildish’s leadership and input in the financial management of the company as we continue to execute our strategic goals for long-term growth.”
