Four industry experts Daniel Cotti, Shalini Lall, Michael Vrontamitis, and Frank Wendt who are renowned in the world of trade finance and treasury have founded T3i Partner Network, committed to driving transformation through innovation.
These experts, supported by an initial cohort of 30+ seasoned partners, together boasting a combined millennium of experience, are set to offer advisory, and consulting services and a go-to-market growth accelerator for the industry. Potential clients include fintechs, corporates, banks, other financial institutions, investors, and industry bodies.
The comprehensive go-to-market growth accelerator service involves supporting clients in articulating and defining their challenges, finding the most suitable solutions, and leveraging them to accelerate growth and bolster sales.
As per a press release from T3i, the network aims to be the first choice for businesses seeking unparalleled expertise and guidance in navigating the complexities of digital transformation and scaling in the trade finance and treasury industries.
Over the past few months, T3i Partner Network has already engaged with several clients, including Digital Vault Services GmbH, which produces Guarantee Vault, a place for the issuance and safekeeping of digital guarantees, and Finecta, an API-driven platform that connects trade finance lenders to SMEs, and others
“As an early stage fintech, we have found T3i to be an excellent partner. They have helped us to focus on what is important for success, and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship,” says Andrew Berti, CEO of Finecta.
“T3i has supported us in defining our strategy and executing our overseas expansion plans as the leading digital mature guarantee platform in Europe. Their understanding of us as a startup as well as our FI and corporate clients, combined with their global relationships, has been incredible,” says Jaime Gimeno, co-CEO of Digital Vault Services GmbH.
Commenting on the launch of the business, Frank Wendt, T3i Founding Partner, says: “There is a significant gap in support in the sector, and we recognised that independent practitioners can only operate within the confines of their individual limitations. T3i’s approach consolidates resources to effectively address challenges encountered by industry peers, irrespective of their size.”
Michael Vrontamitis, T3i Founding Partner, says: “Our network is a group of seasoned professionals who have navigated the industry’s challenges firsthand. By joining forces, we’re able to leverage this pool of experience and insight to the benefit of our clients. Our dynamic business model means that we thrive on the success of our clients. We are not here to play a passive role. Instead, we actively support our clients throughout the process, from strategy to execution, ensuring tangible results.”
Shalini Lall, T3i Founding Partner, says: “The world of trade and treasury is evolving with technology advancements and shifting legal frameworks, creating exciting opportunities. T3i member partners, many of whom are former transaction bankers and technologists, are really embracing the chance to make a genuine impact with our clients.”
Daniel Cotti, T3i Founding Partner, says: “We recognise that industry incumbents often lag in embracing change. Our approach is different; we are committed to driving a positive impact on our clients’ commercial activities and earnings, and we do so rapidly. We’re excited about driving proactive engagement, fostering innovation and continuous learning and enabling efficient execution. We want to create meaningful outcomes for our clients.”
