Grand
Cayman, 19 March 2019:
A new
management consulting firm has opened in Cayman, led by fintech
experts Brandon Caruana and Brian Tang. Cartan Group LLC (“Cartan”)
is the first technology-focused strategy and management consulting
agency on island, dedicated to helping institutional clients embrace
emerging technologies that could disrupt their global strategies and
operating models.

Drawing
on 20 years of experience in leading and initiating IT strategies and
digital transformations for large financial services firms locally,
and driven by a desire to leverage some of the digital innovations
happening globally to reduce long-term expenditure and improve
efficiency and productivity, Cartan meets a growing demand in the
industry for advice around digitalisation, with the company’s key
offerings geared towards digital strategy, data and analytics, and
digital transformation services.

“The
heightened demand of digital change and the growing pressures for
entrepreneurs and enterprises to digitalise means businesses large
and small are having to transform by integrating new, innovative
technology with business operations,” said co-founder Brandon
Caruana. “We are challenging how traditional consulting services
firms work by creating a modern, digital consultancy that can deliver
tangible value to start-ups, SMEs and larger institutional clients.”

Cartan
will serve local and international clients from their headquarters in
Grand Cayman, offering innovative advisory, strategy, governance and
technology solutions to businesses around the world. The firm has
also developed a unique set of proprietary platforms and services to
help organisations understand and adapt to the new digital
environment, including a 360° Industry
Monitor platform that uses
advanced data analytics to understand key market drivers, rising
threats and potential opportunities underlying specific industries,
as well as an 180° Enterprise Innovation Lab designed to transform
large operations and complex processes into small, distributed and
empowered teams.

While
the services are relatively new locally, Cartan builds on its
extensive experience in the space – the founders have dealt with a
wealth of projects in data and emerging technology, including the
development and implementation of the first and only regulated
blockchain asset custody solution in the Cayman Islands. The
leadership team is also a regular advisor to government and other
regulatory bodies on the potential impact of these emerging
industries.

As members of the Financial
Services Legislation Committee’s FinTech Sub-committee and founding
members of the Blockchain Association of the Cayman Islands, Cartan
is also working to educate the local community on the wider fintech
industry. The firm launched Women Code Cayman with the support of
Cayman Enterprise City and Ministry of Community Affairs. Women Code
Cayman helps women who are passionate about technology become tech
leaders in Cayman’s digital economy.

Looking ahead to the future,
Caruana concluded, “As the need to digitalise remains top of the
agenda for many large businesses, and the emerging potential of
blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and other digital assets
signifies an exclusive opportunity for Cayman to become a leading
offshore location for these new technologies, we are excited to be
propelling the local industry forward while assisting global clients
to navigate this new world.”
