Acqui-hire
The Challenge
A leading digital payments provider in the FinTech space was scaling operations across the GCC after securing new enterprise contracts. They needed to quickly build a functional unit spanning product, engineering, compliance, and operations - but without the lead time or cost of hiring from scratch.
At the same time, a regional FinTech competitor announced plans to disband one of its business units, impacting a team of 15 mid-to-senior professionals with domain knowledge, proven delivery capability, and team synergy.
The client recognised the opportunity - but needed a partner to strategically manage the acqui-hire process, assess fit, mitigate risk, and preserve team cohesion.
