The appointment brings one of the most recognised figures in the global legal identity and open trade ecosystem to the leadership team of a rapidly growing Irish Regtech and LEI services provider to investment funds, third-party management companies, asset managers, corporate groups and regulated financial institutions across the globe.

Wolf previously served as CEO of Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) where he played a central role in expanding global adoption of the LEI and advancing the next generation of organisational identity through the verifiable LEI (vLEI).

Stephan, who currently also sits as the Chair of the Verifiable Trade Foundation expressed that he sees the Legal Entity Identifier and LEI Worldwide as playing a potentially very important role in the overall mission of trade digitalization.

From their offices in Dublin, London and Mumbai - LEI Worldwide provides services to some of the world's largest companies, institutions and corporate services providers in the world.

Robert O'Reilly, Board Member and General Counsel, highlighted this saying:

"Stephan Wolf's appointment marks a double win: it reinforces the operational excellence we're known for and amplifies our commercial offer globally, ensuring LEI Worldwide remains at the forefront of the global digital identity revolution for companies trading all around the globe."

Strategic Expansion Beyond Traditional LEI Services

The addition of Wolf is expected to accelerate LEI Worldwide's next phase of growth, particularly in areas where legal identity intersects with digital trust, tokenised markets, verifiable credentials, digital assets and cross border regulatory infrastructure.

Darragh Hayes, Founder and CEO of LEI Worldwide, said:

"Bringing Stephan into LEI Worldwide is a major moment for our business and for the clients we serve. He helped shape the global LEI ecosystem at the highest level and understands where organisational identity is going next. Our clients already rely on us for speed, precision and enterprise level execution. With Stephan on board, we add another layer of governance, strategic depth and product ambition. We see significant opportunities in vLEI, digital assets and trusted cross border data infrastructure, and we intend to be at the front of that shift."
