By Gloria Methri

Strategic communications consultancy, Wachsman, a specialist in Web3, blockchain, and FinTech verticals, has opened its newest office in Geneva, Switzerland. The new location, Wachsman’s third in Europe and seventh worldwide, is expected to reinforce the company’s position in the financial technology industry.

“As a longstanding hub for financial services with a nimble approach to policy and regulation, Switzerland has long been a global centre for innovation in the financial services sector. In the last decade, its appealing conditions have led to the formation and growth of many of the world’s leading blockchain and DeFi organisations,” said David Wachsman, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Wachsman.

“With tremendous experience in both legacy and emerging markets, our new location in Geneva allows us to be of further service to innovators in traditional and decentralized finance, as well as the many blockchain and Web3 companies operating within Switzerland and beyond,” he added.

Wachsman Geneva will be led by Alex Sheehan, who joined the company in 2017 in its Dublin office. Over the past three years, she has served as Director at Wachsman Singapore.

“Wachsman has played a principal role in the rise and success of some of the most well-known companies in emerging technology, with more than 350 clients represented to date,” said Sheehan.

“Since our inception in 2015, we have helped our clients educate the public on the merits of technologies enabling distributed systems, smart contracts, compliant privacy, and more. In the next five years, we anticipate huge strides forward in the adoption of the metaverse and other emerging paradigms. Our presence in a critical hub like Switzerland will ensure we remain within the very heart of the action.”

Earlier this year, Wachsman opened additional American offices in Los Angeles and Washington DC, as well as a UK-based office in London. The company had previously established offices in New York, Dublin, and Singapore.

Wachsman also has presence in EMEA, overseen by Dublin-based Managing Director Liam Murphy, who says that the push responds to growing global demand for integrated communications services in emerging tech.
