Strata APAC: Celebrating our official Singapore launch

Introduction

On the 2nd of October 2025, Strata officially marked the opening of our Singapore office, a key milestone in the growth of Strata APAC as part of our global business. This event, held at the prestigious Tower Club, brought together more than 50 guests from across the financial services community, including valued clients, partners and representatives from BlackRock.

A Growing Presence in the Region

Since launching our APAC business earlier this year, Strata has seen strong demand for its Aladdin® and eFront expertise.

The Singapore office now serves as our regional hub, supporting clients across the investment lifecycle, from platform implementation and integration to ongoing optimisation and operational support.

The launch event was attended by Strata’s founders, Rich Hall, Joe Yallop and Stuart McBane, together with CEO James Howell, Chief Commercial Officer Greg Welch, and APAC Managing Director James Colston, reflecting the strategic importance of the region in Strata’s Global expansion. Under James Colston’s leadership, the Strata APAC team continues to grow rapidly to meet client demand across Singapore, Australia and beyond.

A Night to Remember

The evening was both celebratory and strategic, offering an opportunity to connect with peers, share insights and reflect on Strata’s continued global growth. Guests enjoyed excellent food, panoramic views of Singapore, and engaging conversation that showcased the collaborative spirit at the heart of Strata’s success.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to expand our presence across the region, we look forward to deepening relationships with clients and partners throughout APAC, helping them unlock greater value from their investment platforms and achieve lasting operational excellence.
