LONDON, Dec. 11, 2025 — Diginex Limited (“Diginex” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DGNX), a top provider of Sustainability RegTech and Data Management solutions, today revealed the appointment of Lorenzo Romano as Deputy Chairman. This strategic move strengthens Diginex’s governance and positions the firm to capitalize on the fast-growing global sustainability RegTech market—projected to expand from roughly $20 billion in 2025 to over $80 billion by 2032—driven by rising ESG regulations and demand for advanced compliance technologies.
Mr. Romano joined Diginex earlier this year as Head of M&A and Strategic Development, where he played a key role in advancing the Company’s acquisition strategy, identifying high-potential opportunities in the RegTech and data-intelligence sectors, and supporting the post-acquisition integration of Matter DK ApS. His leadership has already contributed to key initiatives, including recent acquisition MOUs – Matter () and Plan A () – that align with Diginex’s vision for innovation in ESG reporting, supply chain transparency, and AI-powered compliance.
The appointment highlights the Board’s confidence in Mr. Romano’s expertise to guide Diginex amid surging global demand for robust sustainability solutions. As regulatory frameworks like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and emerging ESG mandates grow more stringent worldwide, companies are increasingly turning to specialized RegTech platforms to efficiently manage complex reporting, risk assessment, and data integrity requirements.
With over two decades of experience in private banking, investment advisory, strategy, and corporate development, Mr. Romano most recently served as Head of Private Banking for Geneva at EFG Bank. Previously, he held senior roles at Syz Bank (part of Syz Group), including Head of Europe, Middle East, and Eastern Europe. He has advised influential HNWIs, family offices, and institutions on complex transactions, governance structures, and sustainable value creation. His proven track record leading international teams through transformative growth phases adds critical depth as Diginex expands its technology portfolio and pursues targeted acquisitions in the fast-evolving sustainability RegTech landscape.
In his expanded role as Deputy Chairman, Mr. Romano will enhance corporate governance and strategic planning, while continuing to drive the Company’s M&A agenda. He will collaborate closely with senior management to align long-term objectives with operational execution, ensuring Diginex remains at the forefront of delivering verifiable, tech-driven solutions for ESG compliance and sustainable impact.
“Lorenzo’s strategic insight and operational acumen have already proven invaluable, and his appointment as Deputy Chairman reflects our commitment to strong leadership as we accelerate growth and deliver greater value to stakeholders,” said Miles Pelham, Chairman and Founder of Diginex. “Diginex is strategically positioned to lead in the booming sustainability RegTech sector, where innovative tools are essential for navigating increasingly strict global regulations.”
Diginex continues to empower organizations worldwide with its award-winning platforms—including diginexESG for comprehensive reporting and diginexLUMEN for supply chain monitoring—leveraging AI, blockchain, and data analytics to drive transparency and regulatory adherence in an era of heightened sustainability scrutiny.
