Position Overview:

This individual will work closely with the CEO, COO, and Investment Committee to execute Inversion’s blockchain “rip-and-replace” strategy across portfolio companies, ensuring that each company’s transition to blockchain infrastructure is executed flawlessly to unlock maximum value.

This role is ideal for a seasoned investment professional with a deep understanding of the fintech and telecom sectors, proven transaction experience, passion for crypto, and a track record of driving strategic initiatives. The CIO will be supported by a small team of investment professionals, with the potential for further expansion as the portfolio grows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Transaction Leadership: Lead the execution of acquisitions and private transactions from start to finish, including due diligence, negotiation, financing, and closing.

• Portfolio Management: Serve as the senior point of contact for the executive teams of portfolio companies post-acquisition, providing strategic oversight and guidance to ensure successful execution of the blockchain “rip-and-replace” strategy.

• Acquisition Pipeline Development: Work with CEO and COO to build and maintain a pipeline of acquisition targets, focusing on companies ripe for blockchain infrastructure transformation.

• Acquisition Financing: Work with the CEO and COO to secure financing for acquisitions, including identifying and negotiating with financial partners to structure deals effectively.

• Strategic Integration: Oversee the operational, technical, and business execution of blockchain integration in portfolio companies, ensuring a smooth transition and alignment with Inversion’s strategic objectives.

• Team Leadership: Manage a small investment team, including 1-2 associates initially, providing leadership and direction in the execution of transactions and post-acquisition integration.

• Stakeholder Communication: Act as a primary point of contact for investors, portfolio companies, and other stakeholders, ensuring transparent and effective communication regarding the performance and strategy of the portfolio.

• Market Intelligence: Stay informed about market trends, especially in the fintech and telecom sectors, to identify new acquisition opportunities and emerging industry dynamics.

Qualifications:

• Transaction Experience: Over 8 years of transaction experience, particularly in private equity, M&A, or investment banking.

• Sector Expertise: Strong background in fintech, telecom, or related technology sectors, with deep knowledge of industry dynamics, challenges, and opportunities.

• Leadership Skills: Proven ability to lead complex transactions and manage relationships with C-suite executives and board members in portfolio companies.

• Blockchain Passion: While not a requirement, a strong interest in blockchain technology and its potential applications in business transformation is preferred.

• Self-Starter: Confident in leading acquisition processes independently, taking ownership of deal execution and portfolio management.

• Strategic Thinker: Ability to think long-term and implement strategies that drive value both for equity holders and token stakeholders.

• Relationship Building: Strong sell-side relationships and network for sourcing and financing acquisition opportunities.

• Cultural Fit: High energy, entrepreneurial mindset, and a willingness to embrace the unique challenges and opportunities presented by a rapidly evolving blockchain investment model.

Preferred Skills:

• Ability to work in a high-growth, fast-paced environment with a focus on strategic decision-making and value creation.
