CLIENT OVERVIEW
Our client is a digital assets custodian for institutional clients, operating at the forefront of the Financial Services industry. Based in Singapore, the company employs between 50 and 100 professionals and is dedicated to providing secure, regulated, and innovative solutions for safeguarding digital assets. As a growing player in the fast-evolving blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem, the company’s reputation and success rely heavily on maintaining strong compliance frameworks to meet the stringent requirements of institutional investors and regulators.
CHALLENGE
With digital assets gaining increasing traction among institutional clients, regulatory scrutiny in Singapore and across global financial hubs has intensified. To remain competitive and trusted, the client recognized the urgent need to build a robust compliance team capable of ensuring adherence to local and international regulatory standards.
However, the firm faced significant hurdles:
-
A competitive talent market in Singapore, particularly for compliance professionals with expertise in digital assets.
-
The need for individuals who could navigate both traditional financial regulations and the emerging frameworks governing blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
-
Limited internal recruitment capacity to identify and engage specialized compliance talent at speed.
The company needed a partner who could not only source compliance experts quickly but also ensure they aligned with the firm’s culture of innovation, security, and institutional-grade service.
SOLUTION
Avomind partnered with the client to develop and execute a targeted recruitment strategy designed specifically for compliance roles in the digital assets sector. Working closely with the leadership team, we defined the critical skill sets required, including regulatory knowledge, risk management, AML/KYC expertise, and prior experience in financial services or fintech.
Through our extensive global network and knowledge of Singapore’s financial services ecosystem, Avomind identified and engaged candidates with both traditional compliance experience and exposure to digital assets. Our proactive outreach and rigorous screening ensured that only professionals with the right balance of regulatory expertise, adaptability, and passion for innovation were presented.
Within a short timeframe, we successfully built out the client’s compliance team, delivering the specialized talent necessary to support their growth and safeguard their institutional clients.
OUTCOME
With Avomind’s support, the client established a dedicated compliance team in Singapore, strengthening their ability to operate securely in an increasingly regulated environment. This not only ensured continued trust from institutional clients but also positioned the company as a credible, compliant leader in the digital asset custody space.
The team’s presence has since enabled the firm to expand confidently, launch new services, and maintain a competitive advantage in one of the world’s most dynamic financial markets.
