Fintech Strategy & Advisory Services
DNYC Ltd provides high-impact strategy and corporate finance advisory to fintech boards, private equity firms, and leadership teams across the UK and EU.
Daniela Sozzi brings 20 years of direct fintech experience to critical inflection points, from regulatory licensing to M&A and value creation.
How DNYC Operates
Every engagement is led personally by Daniela Sozzi. As founder and principal of DNYC Ltd, Daniela remains the single point of accountability from scoping through delivery. Clients work directly with her, not with a rotating account team.
To match the scope and technical depth of each mandate, Daniela draws on a vetted bench of independent legal, technical, and operational specialists, brought in selectively based on the specific requirements of the engagement, whether that’s a licensing filing requiring local legal counsel, a technology integration needing specialist implementation support, or an operational build-out requiring additional hands.
This model combines the accountability and continuity of a dedicated senior advisor with the flexibility to scale specialist capacity precisely where a mandate demands it, without the overhead, hand-offs, or diluted ownership typical of larger advisory firms.

“Any strategy is only as good as the ability to execute it under pressure. My process begins by framing specific problems, identifying key stakeholders, developing custom KPIs, and designing targeted actions to drive measurable improvements.”
