Making sure decisions hold
at every stage they're made.
We work with executives, founders, investors, and leadership teams at the moments that matter most. Before engaging a partner. While a deal is being structured. When a risk surfaces that can't wait.
We bring the verification intelligence and legal judgment that turns complexity into clarity upstream, in the room, and after the ink is dry.
Youri founded YMV & Co after six years of independent intelligence work in some of the most demanding environments available geopolitical conflict analysis, defense sector engagements, and forensic-level investigative reporting referenced by international media.
Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), he brings an adversarial lens to every verification mandate: structured, methodical, and grounded in what others miss.
His work has protected organizations from high-cost mistakes in executive hiring, strategic partnerships, and critical vendor relationships.
Deborah has spent her career inside leadership teams across sectors health tech, SaaS, digital marketing, e-commerce, and offshore energy in companies ranging from early-stage startups to listed international groups.
As VP Legal & DPO at fast-scaling businesses where legal decisions carried direct board, investor, and regulatory exposure, she developed a direct, operational approach to risk: anticipating it rather than reacting to it, and supporting executives rather than slowing them down.
She co-founded YMV & Co to bring that same caliber of legal judgment to leadership teams who need a senior partner in the room not a function on the org chart.
Investigative rigor and legal strategy delivered as one framework.
Verification
Helps you commit with confidence. Through structured investigation combining OSINT, due diligence best practices, and an ethical hacking methodology, we assess the people and organizations you're about to trust partners, vendors, key hires, intermediaries.
Our analytical framework is grounded in recognized international standards, including OECD Due Diligence Guidance, and is conducted in strict compliance with the law and the highest levels of confidentiality.
The output is a clear, defensible report built for Legal, HR, and Board-level review. Not a data dump. A decision.
Counsel
Gives your leadership team senior legal judgment, integrated into your decision-making without the overhead of a full legal function. Strategic contracts, risk arbitration, governance, GDPR handled by someone who understands your business, not just your files.
The result: faster execution, cleaner outcomes, and a leadership team that moves forward with full visibility on what it's signing, assuming, and exposing itself to.
