CFO Appointment for a Fast-Growing Cross Chain Web3 Scale-Up
Our client, a fast growing venture-backed Web3 company, needed a Chief Financial Officer to strengthen financial operations during a critical phase of scaling. As a leader in cross-chain infrastructure, they were experiencing rapid growth following a successful funding round.
The Challenge
They were working with a tight timeline and needed to hire in under 6 weeks. The right person needed experience in venture backed environments, to be fluent in both German and English, and capable of building out finance functions from the ground up, while advising the leadership team on growth, compliance, and token-related governance. This, combined with a global talent shortage of finance leaders with exposure to both traditional finance and Web3 ecosystems, made for a tough search.
Our Solution
We have extensive experience placing senior leaders in
Web3, FinTech and Ai driven organisations, and were
able to:
- Quickly instruct our EU research team to map
traditional finance and crypto sectors. - Tap into our executive network, leveraging our
contacts across Berlin, Zurich, and London, as well as
our global network of finance leaders within
blockchain and digital asset ecosystems. - Vetted each person to ensure their expertise,
leadership style, and cultural fit aligned with the
client’s ambitious growth plans.
The Result
A shortlist was delivered within a week of engagement, all of which were well known to Albert Bow, came from venture-backed FinTech’s, or were senior finance leaders from Web3 scale-ups. The placement was completed in 3 weeks, with an exceptional finance leader, to bridge the gap between TradFi precision and DeFi innovation.
