01 — Who we are

A search partner, not a CV pipeline.

We're a boutique search consultancy connecting world-class operators with the companies building the next financial rails. We work deeply with a small number of clients at any time — so when we commit to a search, your roles get our best people and our best hours.

Our consultants come from operator backgrounds in fintech, payments and digital assets. That means we qualify candidates on real commercial signal, not buzzwords.

02 — Our practice

A dedicated stablecoin & payments search desk.

Built for companies like Zoth.io who need senior commercial hires who understand both the payments stack and the on-chain rails underneath it.

01

Stablecoins & payments

A dedicated team mapping operators across issuers, PSPs, on/off-ramps and global corridor specialists — covering clients and candidates worldwide.

02

Commercial leadership

BD, partnerships, sales and GTM hires — from first commercial hire through to VP-level builders who can open and own a region.

03

On-chain finance

Coverage of tokenised yield, RWA, vaults and DeFi infrastructure — without leading every conversation with crypto-first framing.

03 — The brief

For Zoth.io.

Client

Real-world asset and on-chain yield infrastructure, with current focus on DeFi and vaults — moving into adjacent corridors.

Mandate

Senior BD

Open new corridors, sharpen USP and translate product into commercial partnerships.

Comp band

Sector

04 — How we can partner

Two ways to work together.

Pick the model that fits where Zoth.io is today. For more than one hire, the retained partnership is materially cheaper — and gives you a dedicated consultant who lives inside the business.
