Justin Friedrich
AML Officer
Over the past decade, I’ve built a career at the intersection of compliance, digital assets, and financial innovation. My background includes leading an SRO-affiliated financial institution and supporting one of Switzerland’s first FINMA-licensed crypto asset manager applications — experience that enables me to deliver compliance solutions that are pragmatic, business-aligned, and growth-focused.
At digital value AG, a Swiss SRO-affiliated crypto brokerage, I served as COO and later CEO. Over four years, I oversaw compliance and operations, managed OTC transactions exceeding $100M, and acted as AML Officer during regulatory and financial audits. The company’s acquisition by a multinational financial institution highlighted the value of balancing compliance with commercial success.
Previously at Crypto Finance, I contributed to the FINMA license application, built risk frameworks, and co-managed a $10M fund evaluating ICOs, STOs, and VC opportunities across Switzerland and Israel. Earlier, at the Swiss Financial Innovation Desk (FIND), I proposed measures to promote financial innovation nationwide.
Today, I leverage this combined expertise to help financial institutions navigate AML compliance in ways that enable both regulatory readiness and sustainable growth.
Livio Ammeter
Legal & Regulatory Advisor
As an independent attorney and co-founder of Berli & Ammeter KLG, I focus on regulatory assessments and provide legal support to clients navigating the Swiss financial market framework. An important aspect of my practice involves interacting with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) on behalf of clients, helping them clarify regulatory requirements and align innovative business models with compliance standards.
Prior to establishing my law firm, I spent six years at FINMA, including three years at its dedicated FinTech Desk. In this role, I handled regulatory enquiries and “no-action” letters, particularly relating to ICOs, token classifications and innovative fintech business models. I was also involved in projects connected to the granting of FinTech licenses, which gave me first-hand insight into the licensing process and supervisory expectations. This gave me a strong crypto and fintech background and a deep understanding of how Swiss financial market law applies to emerging technologies.
Today, I combine this regulatory insight with a pragmatic and business-oriented approach to support financial institutions, fintech ventures, and crypto projects. In collaboration with Justin, I act as an independent external partner to whom he refers clients seeking specialized Swiss regulatory and AML expertise.
Janine Stucki
Finance & Administration
Over the past years, I’ve built a career at the intersection of finance, administration, and healthcare operations. My foundation is a commercial apprenticeship, complemented by further education in the medical field, which gave me the tools to take on responsibilities in billing, administration, and customer service for several years.
Across various back-office and front-office roles, I’ve deepened my expertise in financial processes and administrative operations - a combination that makes me a versatile all-rounder in finance and administration, as well as a reliable right hand to executive leadership. My ability to manage both client-facing and operational tasks allows me to deliver effective execution while keeping processes clear and client-friendly.
Most recently, I worked at a Swiss social insurance institution, where I gained first-hand experience operating in a highly regulated environment. In this role, I coordinated with lawyers and healthcare practitioners, managed sensitive insurance cases, and learned how to navigate regulatory frameworks while prioritising and resolving claims efficiently. Today, I apply my broad experience in finance, administration, and compliance with a structured and solution-oriented approach.
