Navigating the Future of Finance and Technology.
Octo is a Singapore-rooted, veteran-led advisory firm. We bring decades of hands-on, Tier-1 experience across strategy, technology, and risk to the boards and institutions shaping the next era of financial services.
Eight advisory pillars
Senior-led counsel across the full technology and finance mandate.
The Veteran Edge
Operators, not career consultants.
Our founders spent decades actually running technology and governance functions inside Tier-1 financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies — building the systems, governing the investment, and living with the outcomes — before spending time inside a top-tier global consultancy delivering strategy to institutions just like them. Octo exists because generalist consultancies are exceptional at frameworks and recommendations, but hand off the deck before anyone finds out whether it actually worked, or holds up to a regulator's or a board's scrutiny.
- Decades of combined leadership across Tier-1 financial institutions
- Global management consulting and audit / accounting pedigree
- Boutique agility — direct senior access, not a leverage pyramid
The Singapore Advantage
Locally rooted in the world's leading fintech hub.
Singapore sits at the centre of global finance and technology — a trusted regulatory environment, deep capital markets, and a gateway to Asia Pacific. Octo is grounded here, with the networks and regional fluency to advise across the region.
Industries served
Track record from our founding team's leadership roles prior to founding Octo — the caliber of experience behind every engagement.
Our leadership delivered a full application and infrastructure modernization for a Tier-1 global bank — exiting legacy infrastructure for an open-source, cloud-native architecture — resulting in a 43% OPEX reduction and US$22M in annual savings.
Our governance leadership built three regional audit offices from the ground up within a single year for a Fortune 500 healthcare company, strengthening governance and compliance across high-growth markets.
Our technology leadership led the technology integration workstream for the largest bank merger in the country's history, and separately assessed over $650M in vendor investment governance for a national logistics operator.
