Background

About Robin Balliu

10 Years of building, bridging & leading with purpose. From start-up grit to cross-border impact. With half a decade of hands-on experience scaling a VC-backed venture into a mature, fully licensed and profitable FX institution, I bring a track record that speaks the language of growth, governance, and grit. From setting up the European HQ from scratch to navigating regulatory frameworks (DNB license, e-money license, and annual DSI certifications), I’ve helped build an operation that not only delivers consistent profitability — but does so with integrity at its core. How- I challenge the status quo with innovative, client-centric solutions- I collaborate with impact, ensuring diverse voices shape strategic conversations- I specialize in complex FX products — spot, forward & options — and understand what it takes to drive commercial success across borders. Along the way, I’ve developed a broader strategic lens — one that includes experience in risk management, navigating capital requirements, and working closely with stakeholders on funding and expansion strategies. It’s this versatility that allows me to operate at the intersection of product, commercial, and compliance. My commercial performance has consistently opened doors to wider leadership responsibilities — from managing key partnerships and key accounts to steering commercial teams — while staying grounded in execution. In parallel, I’ve had the privilege of working on projects in the sports (football) industry— collaborating with high-level stakeholders, navigating the intersection between capital, talent, and global brand development. These experiences have sharpened my instinct for relationship capital, cross-border deal making, and strategic storytelling, If you’re building the future of FX, fintech, or a global (sports) business — looking for someone who blends regulatory finesse with commercial firepower and an international mindset — then let’s talk.
