Why I Founded Coastline Finshore Partners. The Vision Behind the Move
A Message from Enrique Franklin
My passion for creating real job opportunities in a country with an exceptionally talented yet underrecognized young workforce has been a driving force behind this venture. I am committed to helping shape the future of the Dominican Republic's youth by providing them with the opportunities and resources they need to thrive in the global marketplace. Coastline Finshore Partners is not just a business; it’s a platform to empower the next generation of Dominican talent, ensuring that their potential is not only recognized but also nurtured for the betterment of their future and the country's economic development.
My Story
After nearly two decades of spearheading transformative initiatives and delivering significant results in the financial services industry across Canada, most recently through nearshoring operations in the Dominican Republic, I chose to embark on a new journey by founding Coastline Finshore Partners. My extensive experience as a seasoned financial services professional played a pivotal role in shaping this decision.
​
During my time at Scotiabank, I successfully spearheaded the establishment of the GBS Dominican Republic Campus, which became a model of operational excellence, setting benchmarks in employee satisfaction and financial performance. My strategic initiatives, such as developing a business case that secured USD $80 million in startup funding and forging strong partnerships, underscored my belief in the Dominican Republic's potential as a nearshoring hub.
​
Founding Coastline Finshore Partners is the culmination of my passion for driving business success through innovative financial strategies and my commitment to leveraging the unique advantages of the Dominican Republic for North American companies. I recognized a growing need for specialized financial services that not only meet the demands of global markets but also harness the strengths of the Dominican Republic's skilled workforce, strategic location, and cost efficiencies.
​
Coastline Finshore Partners is built on the foundation of my extensive experience and the insights I've gained from leading large-scale operations in both Canada and the Dominican Republic. Our mission is to provide world-class financial services that help companies optimize their operations, reduce costs, and enhance their competitive edge. By focusing on strategic nearshoring, we aim to offer solutions that are not just cost-effective but also culturally aligned with North American business practices.
​
In essence, the creation of Coastline Finshore Partners is a natural progression of my career, driven by a vision to redefine the nearshoring landscape and deliver exceptional value to our clients through innovative financial solutions and strategic partnerships.
