DNYC Ltd

DNYC Ltd is a bespoke strategic advisory firm delivering specialised lifecycle, governance, and technology guidance to the global fintech industry. Founded in 2018 by Daniela Sozzi, a recognized industry leader with over 20 years of direct hands-on financial services experience, DNYC operates on the principle of direct, high-accountability founder engagement. Clients benefit from strategic insight, and proven execution without the frictions of generalist consultancy firms. DNYC’s advisory services rest on Three Core Pillars: 1. Fintech Value Creation Across the Lifecycle DNYC guides fintech leadership and boards through critical inflection points—scaling past product-market fit, navigating consolidation, operating model redesigns, business restructurings, and M&A execution. Value Levers: DNYC translates management vision into actionable, board-ready strategies, assisting firms with value chain positioning, operating margin efficiency, and buy-vs-build framing. Track Record: Daniela has delivered multi-million-pound operational synergy plans and high-value exits for private equity giants including Investcorp, CVC, and Bain Capital. Digital Assets & Blockchain Strategy: Advises boards on fiduciary responsibilities, the micro and macroeconomic impact of stablecoin proliferation, and B2B cross-border payment use cases. 2. Corporate Governance & Embedded Regulatory Expertise In fintech, robust corporate governance directly drives valuation. DNYC brings strategic clarity to boards preparing for equity events (funding rounds, M&A, IPOs), licensing, or market expansion. Deep Domain Knowledge: Daniela understands what regulators expect before they articulate it, having designed regulatory frameworks and advised on EMI licensing for top-tier global fintechs like Binance Europe. Core Focus: Stress-testing business model feasibility, designing risk appetite frameworks grounded in PSD2, PSD3, PSR, and MiCA, managing crisis remediation, and upskilling executive leadership. 3. Pragmatic AI Implementation & Governance DNYC bridges the gap where value creation and board accountability intersect in AI.
