In a strategic move to consolidate its position in the European ESG software sector, Diginex has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer. Lubomila Jordanova has taken the helm of the sustainability-focused regulatory technology firm, a leadership change that comes directly on the heels of the company’s acquisition of Plan A.
New CEO Brings Specialized Expertise
Jordanova officially assumed the CEO role on January 28, 2026, a mere two weeks after Diginex finalized its purchase of PlanA.earth GmbH. She is the founder and former managing director of the acquired company and brings deep, specialized knowledge in carbon accounting and corporate decarbonization strategies to her new position.
She succeeds Mark Blick, who transitions into an advisory role. During Blick’s tenure, Diginex completed its Nasdaq listing in January 2025 and reported a substantial 293 percent revenue growth for the first half of the 2025/26 fiscal year.
Acquisition Adds Major Shareholders and Clients
The acquisition of Plan A was completed on January 14, 2026, for a total consideration of approximately €55 million. The deal was structured as a combination of €3 million in cash and the issuance of 6.72 million new Diginex shares.
Key details of the Plan A transaction include:
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Diginex?
- Transaction Value: Approximately €55 million
- New Institutional Shareholders: The deal introduces Visa and Deutsche Bank as Diginex shareholders
- Client Portfolio: Plan A’s existing customer base includes major corporations such as BMW and Coca-Cola
- Integrated Platform: The combined technology offering now supports compliance with 19 global ESG reporting frameworks
The integration merges Diginex’s existing ESG reporting capabilities with Plan A’s AI-powered carbon accounting platform.
A Series of Strategic Moves
The Plan A purchase is part of a broader acquisition strategy actively pursued by Diginex. Earlier in January 2026, the company acquired The Remedy Project, a specialist in human rights due diligence for supply chains. This was followed on January 23 by a joint-venture framework agreement to develop ESG infrastructure in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.
Separately, negotiations with debt providers continue regarding Diginex’s planned takeover of Resulticks Global Companies.
Regulatory Drivers Fuel Market Growth
The company’s expansion comes amid rapid growth in the global market for ESG and carbon accounting software. Increasing regulatory demands, including the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and new standards from the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), are significantly driving demand for sophisticated compliance solutions.
With its new leadership and an expanded product suite—encompassing diginexESG, diginexLUMEN, and the Plan A platform—Diginex is positioning itself as an integrated provider that links regulatory compliance with practical decarbonization strategies. The company aims to strengthen its European market position in the coming months through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions.
