ABU DHABI, UAE / ACCESS Newswire / January 30, 2026 / Abu Dhabi-based investment and strategic organization Naviator Global has appointed Steven Nam, a policy and legal advisor at the Ethereum Foundation, as an advisor, as the firm prepares for a more active phase of operations in 2026.

The appointment signals Naviator Global's intention to move beyond traditional asset management and investment activities, and to strengthen its strategic focus on areas where technology, public policy, and governance intersect.

Steven Nam is a specialist in the legal and policy dimensions of decentralized technologies. He currently advises the Ethereum Foundation on global policy and regulatory matters, including those related to South Korea, and is involved in navigating the interface between blockchain innovation and institutional frameworks.

In addition, he leads governance-related initiatives at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, where he works on issues surrounding emerging technologies and public policy. He also serves as editor-in-chief of an academic journal focused on blockchain law and digital asset policy, bridging perspectives from academia and industry.

Naviator Global operates as an investment and family office-oriented organization based in Abu Dhabi and the broader Middle East.

Abu Dhabi has recently emerged as a global hub for family offices and high-net-worth networks, supported by a regulatory environment that encourages the convergence of finance, technology, and policy experimentation.

Steven Nam's addition as an advisor suggests that Naviator Global's future projects and investment initiatives will extend beyond purely financial returns, incorporating considerations related to regulation, institutional design, and broader social consensus.

A representative of Naviator Global commented, "As we approach 2026, we recognized the need to bring in expertise that can support long-term, structured decision-making amid a rapidly changing global environment. Steven Nam's experience will play an important role in shaping Naviator Global's direction in areas where technology and institutional frameworks meet."

Naviator Global plans to gradually disclose further details regarding its strategic initiatives and global partnerships as it enters its next phase of activity.
