About Us

Z/Yen is the City of London's leading commercial think-tank. Z/Yen was founded in 1994 to promote societal advance through better finance and technology. Z/Yen has built its practice around a core of high-powered project managers, supported by experienced technical specialists so that clients get expertise they need, rather than just resources available. The firm is headquartered in London, but Z/Yen is committed to the ‘virtual office’ concept and is an intense user of technology in order to improve flexibility and benefit staff. Z/Yen has 25 full-time-equivalent staff and over 300 associate experts. Z/Yen people share significantly in the benefits of success and Z/Yen seeks to develop a supportive environment in which professionals from a variety of disciplines can flourish.

Z/Yen’s vision is "the world would be a better place if people made better decisions every day".

Z/Yen helps organisations make better choices - our clients consider us a commercial think tank that spots, solves and acts to:

Enhance reward
Reduce risk
Increase certainty

Z/Yen’s slogan is “zest for enlightenment”; embodied in five distinguishing principles:

Investing in clients;
Investing in partners;

Delivering superior work and undertaking ground-breaking projects where others fear to tread;
Developing a wider community of firms and individuals that support our clients;
Enhancing risk/reward thinking;
Investing in ventures where Z/Yen’s network and skills can add value.
