MSTRPay has appointed Mr Nasser Philippe da SILVA as a non-exclusive regional agent supporting activities across Nigeria, Guinea, and Senegal, reinforcing the company’s structured expansion strategy in West Africa.
The appointment enhances MSTRPay’s regional connectivity and institutional access while preserving its disciplined, governance-led market entry framework.
Mr Nasser Philippe da SILVA’s mandate is strictly facilitative. He will support the identification and introduction of licensed microfinance institutions and regulated financial entities, coordinate documentation flows, assist in preliminary joint-venture dialogue under MSTRPay’s governance model, and contribute to structured market intelligence across the three jurisdictions. He holds no authority to negotiate commercial terms, commit capital, bind MSTRPay contractually, or represent the company in financial transactions. All commercial structuring, valuation, capital allocation, and regulatory approvals remain fully centralised within MSTRPay’s executive leadership.
The engagement is governed by formal NDA and Agent Agreement documentation to ensure controlled, compliant, and audit-traceable activity.
Mr da SILVA brings senior executive leadership experience, having served as Director General of ADPEC Sarl (2020–2024), where he led the structuring of state-level and private investment projects across West Africa. His role involved hands-on coordination of multi-stakeholder initiatives and cross-border investment frameworks.
He has been mandated to identify and structure partnerships with foreign financial institutions and investors for public and private projects, including state-linked initiatives in Central Africa. This exposure provides valuable insight into institutional financing dynamics and cross-jurisdictional coordination.
Mr da SILVA’s experience includes engagement in projects involving public authorities, particularly within agricultural and municipal development contexts. This government-facing exposure supports MSTRPay’s compliance-driven joint-venture model, which prioritises regulatory alignment and structured dialogue before commercial execution.
In addition to his executive background, Mr da SILVA is a trained IT security engineer (EIFF Paris), with specialization in database security and confidential systems. This technical foundation strengthens his understanding of data governance, cybersecurity considerations, and regulated financial infrastructure — elements increasingly critical in fintech-oriented JV processes.
Between 2020 and 2024, he completed advanced training through the FIMP Platform in Morocco, focusing on state and private project financing and investment structuring. This experience aligns directly with MSTRPay’s JV framework for MSTRcash, MSTRbank, and structured financial ecosystem expansion.
Peter Rinaldo, Head of Business Relations — Emerging Markets, MSTRPay AB, stated:
“Mr Nasser Philippe da SILVA brings executive leadership, cross-border financing experience, and government-level exposure combined with technical security competence. His regional network across Ghana, Senegal, and Guinea strengthens MSTRPay’s structured and regulator-aligned expansion strategy in West Africa.”
The West Africa mandate operates under strict due-diligence, anti-corruption, documentation, and compliance standards. A no-valuation-prior-to-NDA policy applies to all counterparties, and any deviation from internal governance protocols results in immediate termination of the mandate.
Nigeria, Guinea, and Senegal represent strategically important markets with growing demand for structured financial inclusion and regulated institutional partnerships. By appointing a regionally connected executive with government and investment structuring experience, MSTRPay enhances its market intelligence while maintaining full executive control over capital deployment and corporate governance.
As in all jurisdictions, MSTRPay’s engagement model follows a phased sequence: initial assessment, partner identification, regulatory alignment, due diligence, commercial structuring, and executive approval. By separating local facilitation from corporate decision-making, the company balances regional access with institutional-grade governance.
Further updates will be provided as the West Africa market assessment progresses.
