Appointing a CEO to
Lead a Digital Asset
Treasury in NY
A leading global blockchain organisation, based in New York, was in the process of launching a new digital asset treasury business, with the longer-term view of taking the entity public on NASDAQ. They required a Chief Executive Officer to lead the new organisation and establish its commercial and operational foundation.
The Challenge
This was a highly sensitive and specialised hire, and the client needed someone with:
- A strong investment and treasury background, ideally with exposure to institutional digital asset markets
- An extensive network across Web3, digital assets, and traditional finance
- Immediate availability to support launch timelines
The organisation also wanted to ensure the search process was highly focused, avoiding the “noise” of recruiters providing unvetted profiles without real market insight.

- Mobilised our research team, mapping candidates across digital asset funds, trading platforms, fintechs, and adjacent sectors.
