Complex problems rarely arrive in neat categories. The mandates that matter most sit at the intersection of strategy, intelligence, and execution, and they require someone who understands all three.

8 Degrees East is a Zurich-based strategic advisory firm working with founders, C-suite executives, boards, investors, and family offices on the problems that conventional advisors do not fully address.

Our work covers three areas. We lead intelligence-driven due diligence and investigations across AML/KYC/CTF, source-of-wealth verification, UBO analysis, and integrity reviews, surfacing the truth early so our clients avoid the headlines later. We design and execute market entry strategies, opening the right doors at the right level across financial services, technology, and government-adjacent sectors. And we advise boards and executive teams on enterprise risk and governance, preparing organisations for regulatory and audit scrutiny before it arrives.

We operate in your language with active reach across Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia.

8 Degrees East is also the strategic backbone of Meridian³, a specialist corporate and business intelligence firm operating at the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain networks. Together we serve clients who need precision intelligence and senior advisory capability in the same relationship.

When the situation is complex and the margin for error is small, we are the team that makes sense of it.
