Matrixport Appoints Dominik Oggenfuss as CEO of Matrixport Asset Management AG

In a significant move for its growth strategy, Matrixport Group has officially announced the appointment of Dominik Oggenfuss as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Matrixport Asset Management AG, effective immediately. With vast experience in strategic consulting, venture capital, and alternative investments, Oggenfuss is expected to lead the company's next phase of development in Switzerland and oversee its investment activities in the rapidly evolving landscape of digital assets and traditional finance.

Dominik Oggenfuss joined Matrixport from Welsbach Holdings, where he acted as a partner. His extensive background encompasses over 25 years within the financial sector across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. He also holds credentials from executive training programs at Harvard Business School, which supplements his expertise in corporate development and investor relations.

"With our Swiss asset management platform, Matrixport Asset Management is entering its next phase, focusing on expanding operations at the institutional level across Europe. Dominik's appointment signifies our commitment to enhancing our investment capabilities and establishing a long-term presence in key European markets," stated John Ge, CEO of Matrixport Group.

In his new role, Oggenfuss expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "I am honored to take on the CEO role at Matrixport Asset Management AG and look forward to working with the talented team. As part of Matrixport Group, a global player in digital assets in Asia, I am confident that we can deliver innovative investment solutions, strengthen client relationships, and expand Matrixport Group's footprint in both traditional and digital asset markets within Switzerland and beyond."

Key Personnel Changes Alongside Oggenfuss’s Appointment

In addition to Oggenfuss's appointment, Matrixport has made several other notable staff appointments aimed at strengthening its position in the financial services sector. Friedrich Herzog has been appointed as the Chief Investment Officer. Herzog boasts more than ten years of experience managing both quantitative and discretionary strategies in various asset classes. He has previously contributed to prestigious firms like Goldman Sachs and Omers Capital in New York.

Herzog will continue to lead portfolio management and investment research, further fortifying the company's renowned industry stance.

Hui Wang has been elevated to the role of Chief Operating Officer alongside her responsibilities as Chief Compliance Officer. She will oversee operations, technology, risk, and compliance at Matrixport, drawing from her extensive experience in operational leadership and regulatory compliance from her previous positions at UBS and Credit Suisse.

Strategic Expansion into Europe

This leadership announcement follows a significant strategic milestone for Matrixport’s expansion into the European market. In 2024, the company had fully acquired the licensed Swiss manager, Crypto Finance (Asset Management) AG, facilitating a 100% ownership transition. The acquisition, executed entirely in cash, rebranded the company to Matrixport Asset Management AG, allowing Matrixport a more substantial reach in key European markets with FINMA authorized institutional-level asset management.

Matrixport Asset Management AG serves as a FINMA-authorized collective investment manager, bridging traditional finance with the digital asset ecosystem. The company is positioned to offer a comprehensive suite of regulated products, including funds, ETPs, AMCs, and discretionary asset management, ensuring institutional-level safety and compliant offerings to its clients.
