- The appointment underscores Ctrl Alt's commitment to growing its commercial and partnership network across the UK and the Middle East
LONDON, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading tokenization infrastructure provider, Ctrl Alt, today announced that Amanda Staveley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PCP Capital Partners, has joined its Board of Directors and will act as a strategic advisor to the company.
Staveley is one of the UK's most prominent dealmakers and founder of PCP Capital Partners, the private equity and advisory group she established in 2005. PCP has led a number of landmark transactions, including the £3.25 billion recapitalisation of Barclays in 2008, which allowed the bank to raise private capital rather than accept a government bail-out, and the acquisitions of Manchester City F.C. in 2008 and Newcastle United in 2021, where Staveley served as a director until 2024. Investors Chronicle identified her as one of the 150 people most likely to influence the financial world.
Her appointment reflects the direction of Ctrl Alt's business. The company operates regulated entities across the UK, EU and GCC, holding licences and authorisations from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) and the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC). It has tokenized more than $1.8 billion in alternative assets to date. The UK and the Middle East are the two markets where Ctrl Alt's operations are centred. They are also the markets in which Staveley built her career, raising capital and closing transactions for major financial institutions and sovereign investors.
Amanda Staveley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at PCP Capital Partners, said: "I've spent my career closing deals where access to capital was the binding constraint. Tokenization is the first real structural fix to that problem, and Ctrl Alt has done the hard part first - building the regulated infrastructure that institutions and governments actually need before scaling the market around it. I've watched this team turn a genuinely difficult, multi-jurisdictional regulatory challenge into a working product, in the UK, UAE and beyond. I'm looking forward to helping this extraordinary team take Ctrl Alt to the next exciting stage."
Matt Ong, Founder and CEO at Ctrl Alt, said: "From our first conversations with Amanda, it was clear we shared the same conviction about how this technology can fundamentally change the way we transact in alternative assets. The opportunity is enormous, but access to these assets still runs on infrastructure built for a different era, and our mission is to change that. Few people know the UK and Middle Eastern markets as deeply as Amanda does, from how capital moves in each to what it takes to close complex transactions. We're proud to have her on the board and looking forward to building together."
The appointment follows a period of sustained growth for Ctrl Alt. Tokenized assets have more than tripled to $1.8bn over the past 12 months, with headcount doubling over the same period. Staveley joins the board as Ctrl Alt enters its next phase of growth, focused on expanding partnerships across the UK and the Middle East.
