Strategic IT & Regulatory Consulting
Payment architecture, crypto settlement design, POS & acquiring integrations, and navigation of MiCA, PSD2 and AML frameworks — advisory only, always outside the licensed perimeter.
Interim Management
Hands-on leadership for launches, market entries and turnarounds. GM-level operating experience across European payments — brought in when the mandate needs an operator, not a deck.
Business Development & Matchmaking
Introductions, partnership brokerage and deal facilitation across banks, PSPs, POS hardware manufacturers and crypto infrastructure providers — a network built over two decades.
Operators, not observers
Most consultancies study the water from the boat. We've been in it — running European operations for payment companies, integrating POS hardware, structuring crypto off-ramps, and sitting on the client side of regulatory filings.
Engagements are structured simply: a clear scope per annex, transparent hourly billing, and success fees only where a transaction closes. No retainers for their own sake, no junior leverage — the person you brief is the person who does the work.
Every engagement stays strictly within advisory, introduction and matchmaking activity — no regulated services, ever.
