I am a Payments and Fintech expert with a foundational background in corporate finance and strategy.
My career is marked by extensive consulting and management experience, where I have demonstrated my ability to lead from strategic planning through to successful execution.
I have a strong track record in organizational post-merger integration, as well as redesign and restructuring initiatives, ensuring that companies emerge stronger and more streamlined.
What I do...
What I do...
I setup DNYC in 2018 to support clients through the intricacies of strategic planning and digital transformation.
In today’s unpredictable business environment, I support leadership teams to shape a clear vision for their organisation.
My approach is designed to:
align priorities
bridge strategy gaps
link investment to value creation
anticipate and plan for various scenarios
adapt execution quickly, and
facilitate complex tech-driven transformation initiatives.
I believe that strategic agility and strategic management (or lack thereof) can make or break a business.
I do not offer standardised solutions. Instead, I collaborate closely with incumbent teams to craft and execute bespoke, data-driven strategies that yield tangible results swiftly.
... and how
... and how
My process begins by framing specific problems, identifying key stakeholders, developing custom KPIs, and designing targeted actions to drive measurable improvements.
By engaging my services, you benefit from the expertise of a seasoned consultant combined with the agility and cost-efficiency typically associated with independent professionals.
As an advisor, I keep my finger on the pulse of European product, regulatory, and tech trends, driving enterprise-wide value creation and effective change management.
I am also deeply involved in Private Equity advisory related to M&A of privately-owned and listed companies.

MY PERSONALITY TYPE
MY PERSONALITY TYPE
I've come to think of personality tests as compasses, not GPS devices. They don't provide turn-by-turn directions to understand who I am, but they'll definitely point you in the right general direction about how I think and work.
For me, these assessments capture a fairly accurate and fascinating snapshot of my tendencies—not a carved-in-stone definition, but a colorful, insightful glimpse into my character and approach.
This is precisely why I encourage prospective clients to review my personality profile before we engage professionally. Understanding my natural communication style, decision-making process, and collaborative approach upfront creates immediate efficiency. It allows us to bypass weeks of "getting to know you" conversations and move directly into productive partnerships where expectations are aligned from day one.
ENFJ-A Personality - Protagonist
According to the Adobe test, I am an “adventurer”.
