With over two decades of industry experience, Nishi has been the driving force behind JurisTax. Equipped with a strong background in Law from the University of London, she spent eight years teaching law and corporate administration before she decided to use her expertise to change people’s lives.
Her visionary streak and pursuit of innovation gave rise to JurisTax in 2008, a business that evolved from a company with restricted services to the full- fledged management company it is today. She now leads JurisTax Group as the Group’s Chief Executive Officer. She not only guides the company’s strategic vision across all business units, but also oversees the daily running of their operations. She is a firm believer in empowering leaders within the Group, which culminated in JurisTax’s multi-boutique structure, with a CEO at the helm of each specialised branch. Nishi instills the same degree of passion into her favourite sport, kickboxing. She is devoted to a fit and healthy lifestyle through regular kickboxing workouts, where she enjoys being able to challenge her mental and physical strength. She also brings this grit and “mind over matter” resolve to the decision-making table—traits that have been instrumental in keeping JurisTax at the cutting edge of finance and technology.

Kessen showed a keen interest in the financial services universe at a time where there existed no modules or programmes dedicated to the financial sector at the University of Mauritius, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Finance.
He gained first-hand knowledge and on-the-job experience upon joining JurisTax in 2011. After a decade of demonstrating a strong sense of work ethics and unmatched leadership skills, he has been entrusted with the reins of JurisTax Ltd and JurisTax Services Ltd.
He draws his patience, prudent risk-taking and critical thinking from his lifelong love for football. An ardent Liverpool fan, he waited 30 long years to finally witness his favorite football club claim the Premier League title for the first time since 1990!
He applies these same virtues to the way he leads his team, instilling in them a sense of teamwork and winning mindset. It is this very philosophy that also enables him to devise creative solutions to meet his clients’ requirements and to manage a portfolio exceeding EUR 1 billion of assets under administration on their behalf.

He also trains his team members in matters of CRS, FATCA, IFRS and taxation using his strong interpersonal and people management skills. Darsen is one of many unwavering loyal Manchester United fans. He never misses a game and for him, football is more than a game. It is a reminder and lesson that you win as a team and lose as a team—a philosophy that has highly influenced Darsen’s style as a leader.
