United Fintech opens office in Singapore, hires Cameron Booth as APAC manager
Christian Frahm’s United Fintech has entered the Asia Pacific market with the recent appointment of Cameron Booth as head of APAC. He is based in Singapore and has already joined the company.
“Strategically growing our physical footprint across the US, Europe and now Singapore gives us the power and presence to deliver a truly global offering to our clients,” said Frahm, founder and CEO of United Fintech.
“While the world has become more accustomed to a hybrid way of working, having key experts on the ground in key financial services hubs around the world is critical to delivering the value our customers expect from us.”
Booth will work closely with the firm’s sales team in London and report to the firm’s head of sales, Tom Robinson. His responsibilities at United Fintech will be to drive the company’s growth by helping it scale and distribute products and services to customers.
An expert
Booth came in as an expert on the Asian financial market. He has extensive experience in the Singapore market and also the global financial services space.
He joined United Fintech from Barclays Investment Bank, where he spent the last 16 years and eight months of his career. He joined the bank in March 2006 as assistant vice president for eFX sales in Continental Europe.
He was later promoted to Vice President of eFX Sales in South Asia and held the same role for Australia and New Zealand. He parted ways with the banking giant as director and head of E-FICC sales outside Japan Asia.
“I am thrilled to join the United Fintech team at this exciting point in the company’s global expansion, and to work with such an impressive and talented group of people,” Booth said in a statement.
“Christian and senior management share a phenomenal vision and energy to connect financial institutions with innovative fintech to thrive in the rapidly changing capital markets space globally. This is one of the most exciting regions at the forefront of technological innovation in the financial markets and I look forward to helping our clients grow and thrive.”
Making a mark in the Fintech space
Frahm established United Fintech in November 2020. The company aims to acquire stakes in small and medium-sized startups to scale them over five years. It has built an impressive portfolio by buying stakes in NetDania, TTMzero, FairXchange and Athena Systems.
Meanwhile, the company is also aggressively expanding its geographic footprint. Earlier this year, it established a new office in Madrid led by Erik Nordahl.
United Fintech is further strengthening its team with aggressive hiring, especially in sales. Recently, Chris Codo came on board as Senior Relationship Manager and Raj Rathor as Sales Manager for EMEA in portfolio company Athena Systems. In addition, it has recently added George Govier and Jeremey Gzaiel to the sales team.
