HSM Supports Leadership Cayman and Congratulates Alyson Parsons
The HSM Group displays its commitment to Caymanians by supporting Alyson Parsons, HSM Marketing Manager, to take part in the Leadership Cayman 2025 Programme.
Alyson successfully completed the programme and graduated alongside 21 other esteemed leaders on 12 July 2025.
Leadership Cayman is a six-month course introduced by the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce and provides people with opportunities to learn about the different industries alongside any issues or opportunities facing the Cayman Islands. Participants are selected through an interview process and attend bi-weekly seminars, learning from industry experts who serve as panelists at each session.
Panelists are carefully selected by participants and are widely known to be leaders in their field. HSM is proud to have been included for the seminar on Immigration and Workplace Development. HSM Partner, Alastair David, was invited to participate as a key speaker and explained components of the law, pathways to becoming Caymanian and human rights.
“Investing in our people not only strengthens our team, but contributes to the wider community we serve. Congratulations, Alyson and well done, Alastair!” shares HSM Managing Partner, Huw Moses OBE.
Other Leadership Cayman seminars included: media, technology, financial services, criminal justice, human services and healthcare, culture and heritage, infrastructure and development, sustainability and the environment, tourism, education and the Cayman Islands Government.
“The Leadership Cayman Programme has been such an incredible experience,” shares Alyson. I have made valuable connections and enjoyed industry tours, including going inside the Air Traffic Control Tower. It was a major time commitment and I am grateful to have had HSM’s support.”
