GoLogiq, Inc. has appointed company director, Granger Whitelaw, as chief executive officer. He succeeds interim CEO Brent Suen who will remain chairman of the board. Whitelaw will continue to serve as a member of the company’s board of directors as well as chairman of GoLogiq’s Asia Pacific Committee.

As CEO, Whitelaw will oversee GoLogiq’s recently acquired GammaRey subsidiary and help lead the company’s global expansion through further strategic acquisitions and product development. GammaRey brought to GoLogiq a financial assets management business with approximately $800 million under advisement, as well as a pipeline of prospective acquisitions. Whitelaw brings to GoLogiq over 30 years of executive experience in finance, operations, sales, marketing, M&A, corporate governance and business development.

He has successfully built and advised multiple businesses across several industries, including media, aviation, racing, entertainment, software, technology, consumer products and real estate, both in the U.S. and internationally. He has raised over $3.4 billion for business projects, and has helped lead numerous mergers, acquisitions, public offerings and private equity financings. GoLogiq’s recently announced a sale of its fintech assets to Recruiter.com Group, a recruiting solutions provider.

Given GoLogiq’s new focus on asset management that was created by the GammaRey acquisition, the board of GoLogiq believes the transaction with Recuiter.com will create greater shareholder value versus maintaining the Fintech assets itself. It enables GoLogiq to become a pure play wealth management company with a more clearly definable market valuation, and has helped attract key new management to senior executive positions. Over the last several years, Whitelaw has worked for The Vietnam Group, a business advisory and consulting firm based in Ho Chi Minh City that provides supply chain, financial, governmental and digital services.

Whitelaw is the founder and CEO of the Raybar Group, a global management consulting agency that includes subsidiary companies such as The Vietnam Group, Transpacific Media, Pharmacy Advisors Limited, ParaStem Health, as well as the Lotus Talks podcast. He is a founding benefactor of the XPrize Foundation and the co-founder and CEO of the Rocket Racing League, where he led the development of software, gaming platforms, and aeronautic technology development. Investors and partners have included Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Dr. Bob Hariri, Peter Diamandis, Bill Koch, The Thyssen Family and others.

He founded EBS Ltd. in Bermuda, an early SaaS software company where he authored the world's first law for e-commerce digital signatures and settlement. This law has helped establish the legal framework for online commerce used worldwide today. He also served as EVP of CoreCommerce, a leading SaaS eCommerce platform acquired in 2016 by a group of entrepreneurs and business executives.

He is a founding partner of TrendSphere, a Think Tank for CIOs. Whitelaw also earlier served as banker at a leading investment bank, Cowan Financial Group, in New York City. Whitelaw serves on the board of directors for BZani Animation.

He served on the board of directors of Coffee Masters, Vemics, 360 Global Wine Co, and TRG International. He also served as chairman of the board for Benfe Motors, an electric motorcycle manufacturer and distributor in Southeast Asia. As an avid philanthropist, Whitelaw has founded several organizations aimed at making a difference in the world.

This includes the Amber Development Group for the Amber Alert program, a technology platform that helps to locate missing children.
