Sphere State has been rising through the ranks of boutique firms in Asia for the last decade, serving clients out of our three offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and New York. We now expand formally into Singapore with the recruitment of Jussi Aittola as Senior Partner based in Singapore leading the newly formed office. We’ve served clients and partners in Singapore and Southeast Asia for many years, and we are very happy to now formally make it our home with the opening of Sphere State Pte Ltd.
Jussi has been a friend of our firm for a long time. He brings extensive expertise in cryptocurrency compliance, cybersecurity, and financial technology investigations, developed through his tenure at the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation’s Financial Intelligence Unit.
With over 14 years dedicated to cryptocurrency and investigative leadership, Jussi relocated to Singapore in 2020 to lead the investigations team at Chainalysis APAC as Head of Investigations. He has also held prominent leadership positions, including CEO at CipherBlade APAC and Senior Director at Merkle Science.
Björn Wahlström, CEO, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Jussi onboard the senior team – He brings a deep knowledge of crypto investigations that very few companies possess anywhere in the world. Our expansion to Singapore shows our commitment to growth in that region, especially in the area of digital assets.”
Jussi Aittola, Senior Partner, said: “I’ve followed Sphere State Group closely over the years and have been impressed by their consistent growth and commitment to excellence in complex investigations and asset tracing. Joining the firm at this pivotal stage is incredibly exciting for me, and I’m looking forward to contributing my expertise in cryptocurrency compliance and financial crime investigations to help propel Sphere State Group to even greater heights. “
