Diginex KYG286871044

NASDAQ-listed technology firm Diginex, a provider of ESG software solutions, has entered a significant new phase marked by a strategic change in leadership. This move underscores the company's deepening commitment to the sustainability sector.

The appointment of Lubomila Jordanova as Chief Executive Officer, effective January 28, 2026, signals a new direction. Jordanova, the founder of Plan A.earth, assumes the role immediately following Diginex's acquisition of her Berlin-based company. She succeeds former CEO Mark Blick, who will now serve as a Strategic Advisor in a consultative capacity.

This leadership transition culminates a period of intense strategic repositioning for Diginex, which executed multiple deals within a remarkably short timeframe in January 2026:

• January 7: Signing of the acquisition agreement for Plan A.
• January 8: Completion of the takeover for The Remedy Project Limited, a Hong Kong-based consultancy specializing in human rights within supply chains.
• January 14: Final closing of the Plan A acquisition.
• January 23: Establishment of a joint-venture framework agreement with the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso to develop ESG and decarbonization infrastructure.

The Centerpiece: Plan A Acquisition

The acquisition of Plan A, finalized in mid-January 2026, is particularly pivotal. The target company specialized in carbon accounting and decarbonization software, serving a client portfolio of over 1,500 businesses prior to the deal, including major names like BMW and Chloé.

The transaction was valued at approximately 55 million euros. This comprised a cash component of 3 million euros plus 6,720,317 Diginex shares, valued at around 52 million euros. As a result of this deal, Diginex gained Visa and Deutsche Bank as new shareholders.

Building an Integrated Platform

Through these strategic moves, Diginex is constructing a comprehensive platform for ESG reporting, carbon accounting, and supply chain compliance. The company states its software supports 19 global reporting frameworks, including GRI, SASB, and TCFD.

The market opportunity driving this strategy is substantial. Diginex estimates the global market for ESG and sustainability software will reach between 80 and 100 billion US dollars by 2030. The joint venture in Brazil targets a regional decarbonization market valued at 43.1 billion US dollars in 2024, with projections suggesting it will grow to 76.8 billion US dollars by 2030.

Leadership with a Proven Track Record

The new CEO, Lubomila Jordanova, brings recognized industry expertise to her role. Her accolades include being named an MIT Innovator Under 35 Europe and an Obama Europe Leader. Her appointment allows Diginex to maintain strategic continuity while leveraging her direct experience from the Plan A integration to fuel the company's next stage of growth.
