Gábor Szabó

Owner and managing director of ZENOM

ZENOM Matrix is a rating of business presence: how much of a company’s real substance a buyer can find, understand and verify from outside.

Due diligence was part of my work in regulated finance: on clients, investors, counterparties and transactions.

ZENOM Matrix asks a related question of public evidence: what can a buyer actually verify?
