Despite its established reputation, the team faced challenges in scaling its business, attracting high-net-worth clients, and differentiating itself from competitors. With increasing pressure to meet ambitious growth targets, the bank sought a partner who could help refine its approach to client acquisition and drive sustainable business growth across these key regions.
