Altura Governance is pleased to announce the expansion of its team with two senior appointments in regulatory compliance and AEOI reporting, marking a significant milestone as the firm reaches its first 100 days of operations.
Since launching earlier this year, Altura Governance has been building a boutique financial services firm with institutional-quality capabilities, serving hedge funds, private equity managers, venture capital firms, and digital asset managers across the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, and New York.
Valdin Bailey — AEOI Specialist
Valdin Bailey joins Altura Governance as an AEOI Specialist based in the Cayman Islands. Valdin brings focused expertise across FATCA, CRS, and CARF regulatory reporting frameworks. As global tax transparency obligations continue to evolve and reporting requirements become increasingly complex, Valdin’s appointment strengthens Altura’s ability to support clients with precision, accuracy, and regulatory confidence.
Algimants Kontauts — Director, Regulatory Compliance
Algimants Kontauts joins as Director, Regulatory Compliance, bringing deep AML/CFT expertise to Altura’s growing compliance practice. In this role, Algimants will support clients across a comprehensive range of compliance services, including AML Compliance Officer, Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO), Deputy MLRO, and independent AML audit services. His appointment reflects Altura’s commitment to providing clients with rigorous, hands-on compliance support as a fully integrated part of their governance framework.
A Growing Platform
“Building a boutique firm with institutional-quality capabilities means investing in deep expertise across compliance, regulatory reporting, and risk management,” said Niaz A. Khan, Founder and CEO of Altura Governance. “These appointments reflect exactly that commitment. We are grateful to our clients and partners for their support through these first 100 days, and we look forward to continuing to build a platform that genuinely serves their needs.”
