Global financial services management consultancy firm Synpulse has launched a new office in Taiwan, the firm’s eight office in Asia Pacific.
Originally founded in 1996 in Europe, Synpulse has over the past decade enjoyed a major growth spurt in Asia Pacific, with currently around half of its 700+ employees operating out of its offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, Jakarta, Hyderabad, Bangkok, Sydney, and now also Taipei.
“Taiwan is an important market for us. For the past few years, we have been operating remotely on our Taiwan projects, so to be able to officially open our physical doors here signifies a big milestone for us,” said Salomon Wettstein, Senior Partner of Synpulse.
“We look forward to building closer relationships with our clients and partners, and to working with them to drive the growth of Taiwan’s financial services industry,” he added.
Among the clients Synpulse already serves in Taiwan are local and international banks. “The projects we’re delivering at these clients mostly require an ensemble of experts across the Synpulse ecosystem, which has resulted in the push for more local resources,” said Wettstein, who oversees Synpulse’s North Asia market.
“We are extremely excited to hit the ground running and aim to take the next few months to build up our staff strength, actively hiring local talents to support our solid pipeline of projects.”
One major segment where Synpulse eyes opportunities is in the private banking and wealth management space. Wettstein: “We’re observing a surge in demand from the private banking sector across Asia, including in Taiwan.”
To serve this segment, Synpulse provides an end-to-end offerings that combines its traditional consultancy expertise with digital transformation and solution, delivered by its Synpulse8 wing.
