The people behind FRYA.

FRYA is led by specialists with backgrounds across intelligence, strategic advisory, behavioural science and specialist protection, ensuring every situation is assessed from human, digital and operational perspectives.

Portrait of Nadine de Zoeten

Founder & Strategic Director

Nadine de Zoeten

Nadine de Zoeten is the strategic force behind FRYA. Her work sits at the intersection of wealth, visibility, and protection, with a focus on women operating at a high level across business, wealth, and private life.

An organisational psychologist with a senior background in corporate Learning & Development at organisations including Maersk, Total E&P and BMW, she understands organisations from the inside: how culture, hierarchy, loyalty and pressure shape behaviour, and where human blind spots create risk. That experience underpins both FRYA's work with organisations and the design of FRYA Academy, where programmes are built to change behaviour rather than simply inform.

FRYA was created as a direct response to the gaps she observed in conventional security — a structure capable of protecting women's interests without requiring them to adapt to systems that were never designed for them.

Intelligence & Behavioural Strategy

Carmen Lorenzo

Carmen Lorenzo is an intelligence professional with fifteen years of experience across international intelligence organisations. Her work spans intelligence operations, threat assessment, crisis response and complex missions in high-risk environments, including those where access and freedom of movement are restricted.

Her field experience includes conflict zones across the Middle East, including Fallujah, where she has supported sensitive intelligence activities, coordinated civilian evacuations and carried out the extraction of women and children from active combat environments. A certified hostage negotiator, she brings expertise in crisis negotiation, behavioural assessment and conflict resolution when judgement, timing and discretion are critical.

Her approach combines human intelligence (HUMINT), behavioural analysis and Transactional Analysis to understand relationships, assess intent and identify emerging threats. Within FRYA, this grounds her intelligence and behavioural strategy work in both operational experience and a close understanding of the human factors behind risk.

Carmen also brings expertise in information security, operational risk management and regulatory compliance, including the NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 frameworks for protecting sensitive information. As a PMP-certified General Manager, she has led multidisciplinary teams and coordinated multinational operations, translating intelligence into clear priorities and informed decisions.

Portrait of Dr Stacy Feiner

Relational Psychologist

Dr Stacy Feiner

Dr Stacy Feiner is a relational psychologist whose practice centres on trust, judgement, and influence in high-stakes environments — high-profile women, family enterprises, and complex organisational systems.

She is engaged when systems are under threat: when family offices and multigenerational enterprises confront estrangement, litigation, addiction, or sudden loss, as well as corporate leadership teams facing public scrutiny, internal impropriety, or organisational rupture. In each, relational fracture has become systemic failure, and she rebuilds the foundation that operations and governance depend on. Alongside crisis communication firms, she restores coherence and confidence when it matters most.

Portrait of Nancy Gail Daniels

Chief of Operations

Nancy Gail Daniels

Nancy Gail Daniels brings decades of global executive leadership, intelligence experience and operational command to complex and sensitive engagements. Her career has been defined by environments where information, discretion, judgement and timing matter.

Her intelligence background gives her a deep understanding of collection, analysis, operational planning and the human dynamics behind emerging threats. She helps direct complex investigations, protective intelligence, threat assessment and counterintelligence work, translating intelligence into decisive action.

This is complemented by an extensive record of C-suite leadership in global business, technology and financial services, including significant mergers and acquisitions experience — an understanding of how organisations and markets actually work.
