PROFILE OVERVIEW
Editorial Brief
Omid Modaber is the Founder of Sigma and a strategic growth consultant specialising in the operating systems behind Web3 and financial-platform expansion. His work covers exchange partnerships, KOL and IB ecosystems, creator and influencer networks, regional market entry, user acquisition, affiliate structures, business-development leadership, and performance-oriented commercial strategy.
Since entering the cryptocurrency industry in 2017, Omid has progressed from trading, market research, fundamental analysis, and on-chain data analysis into business development and regional growth leadership. His professional background includes roles with LBank, BingX, ePlanet Brokers, Xiroco, MaxDigital Corporation, Max Holding, and other crypto and financial ventures.
Across these roles, he has designed affiliate and introducing-broker structures, built and managed business-development teams, developed strategic relationships with KOLs, creators, trading communities, and financial-industry decision-makers, and supported high-volume exchange growth across MENA, the GCC, Persian-speaking markets, LATAM, Europe, and other international markets.
Omid currently leads and develops a distributed team of 30+ business development and marketing professionals. He works across a network of more than 1,000 KOLs, IBs, influencers, marketing partners, communities, and social channels, while maintaining an extensive network of high-impact operators and decision-makers across the financial and Web3 industries.
During his time with BingX, Omid supported creator and artist sponsorship initiatives, including activity involving Persian hip-hop artist Gdaal, and contributed to regional business-development efforts around the period in which BingX launched its partnership with Chelsea FC. At LBank, he works within an international business-development organisation as the exchange expands its global visibility through major partnerships, including its official regional sponsorship of the Argentina National Team through the Argentine Football Association (AFA).
Omid founded Sigma after identifying a recurring gap across the industry: exchanges, brokers, creators, affiliates, communities, traders, and liquidity partners were often operating independently rather than through a coordinated growth system. At Sigma, he helps set the organisation's long-term direction while focusing on strategic partnerships, network development, regional expansion, and the operating principles behind its financial and Web3 growth infrastructure.
His background in Bitcoin, market structure, sentiment, fundamental research, and on-chain data gives him a data-aware approach to business development. He has also trained and mentored hundreds of people across cryptocurrency trading, blockchain, Web3, market analysis, business development, and partner growth. His work prioritises long-term relationships, regional execution, transparent reporting, and sustainable commercial systems rather than short-lived campaigns or vanity metrics.
