Diginex Appoints Lorenzo Romano as Deputy Chairman Amid Booming Sustainability RegTech Market Opportunity

LONDON, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diginex Limited (“Diginex” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DGNX), a leading provider of Sustainability RegTech and Data Management solutions, today announced the appointment of Lorenzo Romano as Deputy Chairman. This strategic elevation strengthens Diginex's governance and positions the Company to capitalize on the rapidly expanding global sustainability RegTech market, which is projected to grow from approximately $20 billion in 2025 to over $80 billion by 2032, driven by escalating 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 has been instrumental in advancing the Company's acquisition strategy, identifying high-potential opportunities in the RegTech and data-intelligence sectors, and supporting the Company’s post-acquisition integration of Matter DK ApS. His leadership has already contributed to key initiatives, including the recent acquisition MOUs – Matter (https://www.thisismatter.com/) and Plan A (https://plana.earth/) – that align with Diginex's vision for innovation in ESG reporting, supply chain transparency, and AI-enabled compliance.

The appointment underscores the Board's confidence in Mr. Romano's expertise to help 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 intensify worldwide, companies are increasingly turning to specialized RegTech platforms to manage complex reporting, risk assessment, and data integrity requirements efficiently.

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 intricate transactions, governance structures, and sustainable value creation. His proven track record in 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.
