Utpal Nath

I actively collaborate with diverse development sectors and commercial enterprises, focusing on strategy, growth, and the establishment of sustainable organizations. As a management consultant, strategist, and technologist deeply passionate about innovation and decentralization, I specialize in guiding businesses to adopt disruptive technologies and pioneering business models.

Since early 2023, I have shifted from purely commercial pursuits to directing my efforts toward broader social goals as Chairperson and Chief Impact Officer of Kolong Foundation. Here, I lead initiatives that utilize business innovations to foster social impact and community development across sectors such as food, healthcare, agriculture, education, entertainment, and technology. My mission is centered on uplifting communities through economic empowerment, entrepreneurship, skill enhancement, and environmental sustainability.

With over 25 years of experience, I have a background in leading high-growth companies, implementing financial and business growth strategies, and securing substantial investments. My career spans various leadership roles in engineering conglomerates, telecom, and fintech companies – specializing in blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and digital assets platforms. In one of my recent past roles, I spearheaded transformative initiatives in growth strategy as well as product development lifecycle for digital assets trading platforms in Europe.

This included orchestrating strategic mergers and acquisitions and securing significant investments. I have led multinational teams across the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa, driving corporate strategies, and business development, and establishing strategic partnerships.

Recognized as an industry thought leader, I am a frequent speaker at business forums and industry events, driven by my commitment to leveraging technology for societal benefit and ensuring that advancements contribute positively to communities and the environment.

Outside of work, I indulge in exploring new cuisines, traveling, reading across various subjects, engaging in sports, and enjoying music.
