Interview with Dominic Nys

Which priorities do you currently see for Golding’s international markets?

From an investor’s perspective, clarity and reliability are paramount. A key priority therefore lies in structuring our international activities clearly in terms of the markets we prioritise, the investor segments we address, and the solutions we offer in a targeted manner.

This clarity forms the basis for a consistent and dependable investor approach. Depending on the market and segment, we pursue different strategies tailored to specific needs. The key is not to position Golding as a pure solutions provider, but as a long-term partner supporting investors across market cycles, built on 25 years of experience in private markets, from both a GP and an LP perspective.

This partnership-driven approach is already firmly established in our core markets. Internationally, we are developing it with the same level of care. My impressions confirm that Golding has the platform, depth and experience required to support investors sustainably across markets.

Looking back, what has shaped you most in your career so far?

My early years in structured products taught me a fundamental lesson: good solutions only emerge when you take the time to truly understand an investor’s objectives and constraints. This solution-oriented mindset continues to shape my work today.

For investors, this means that listening carefully, putting things into context and developing tailored solutions always come first. Equally important is the insight that reliable outcomes are only achieved through strong teams. Commitment, continuity and shared values are essential for long-term success, particularly in a challenging market environment.

How would you describe what investors can expect from you in their day-to-day interactions?

For investors, reliability, transparency and clear added value are key in day-to-day interactions. Growing up in a family business taught me early on that trust and service quality are the foundation of lasting relationships.

In practical terms, this means listening attentively, structuring topics clearly and making processes as efficient and transparent as possible from the very first conversation. I see my role as representing the investor’s perspective within the organisation, coordinating internally and working with the team to deliver robust, well-considered solutions.

This consistently investor-centric approach is something I clearly recognise at Golding – and one I see as a key foundation for long-term partnerships.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work, sport plays an important role in my daily life not least through my children, who are very active in competitive sports. I am a keen tennis fan myself and also enjoy spending time in the mountains, whether skiing or running.

Beyond that, I value travelling, good food and time with family and friends. Greece has become something of a second home to me – a place for good conversations and shared time.
