Han Jie Tay
@hanjietay
I build institutional partnerships and growth engines across digital assets and private credit.
What I'm looking for
I've built institutional growth across DigiFT and Kilde, expanding private-credit AUM from $30M+ to $100M+ and developing pipelines of institutional, accredited, crypto, and traditional-finance clients for tokenized RWA offerings.
Across venture-backed startups, private equity, and IPO projects, I've led GTM strategy, capital raising, M&A, CRM buildouts, team hiring, and cross-functional execution. I bring hands-on experience bridging TradFi and DeFi, working with family offices, fund managers, banks, exchanges, and protocol teams across Singapore, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, the Middle East, and Europe.
