The Challenge
An international FinTech group operating across payments, remittance, digital banking, and crypto infrastructure needed a Group Chief Financial Officer to lead and scale their financial function. This was a pivotal executive role requiring someone who could blend strategic vision with hands-on execution across regulated and non-regulated businesses in multiple jurisdictions.
The client needed a CFO with proven experience in EMI, crypto, or iGaming environments—someone who could oversee financial strategy, treasury operations, regulatory compliance, and M&A activity while reporting directly to the UBO.
The Search
We conducted a confidential executive search targeting CFOs and senior finance leaders with direct experience in regulated financial services. The search focused on candidates who had operated in complex multi-entity structures, understood licensing requirements across EMI, crypto, and gaming sectors, and had the commercial acumen to support an entrepreneurial, high-growth business.
We prioritised candidates with hands-on leadership experience who could work directly with founders and navigate the unique demands of a fast-moving fintech environment.
The Solution
We identified an experienced CFO with a strong track record across the payments and digital finance space. They had led financial functions in regulated environments, managed multi-jurisdictional reporting, and supported capital strategy including investor relations and acquisitions.
Their blend of strategic thinking and operational discipline—combined with direct experience working with founders—made them an ideal fit for this high-impact role.
The Outcome
The CFO has taken full ownership of the group’s financial function, implementing improved reporting frameworks, strengthening treasury controls, and supporting strategic expansion initiatives.
