About

David Dinca

I am a regulatory and policy professional working across the implementation, supervision, and operationalisation of EU regulatory frameworks.

My experience spans energy regulation, digital platform compliance, and emerging AI governance. At Accenture, embedded within Meta’s operations, I worked on the operational implementation of EU digital regulation, including the Digital Services Act, NetzDG, copyright, and consumer policy frameworks. That work gave me direct exposure to how legal and policy obligations are translated into large-scale compliance systems.

At EirGrid, Ireland’s electricity transmission system operator, I worked on regulatory strategy, incentive framework design, price control submissions, and NIS2-aligned cybersecurity reporting — developing a system-level understanding of how regulatory obligations are designed and enforced in critical national infrastructure.

I now work at the Commission for Communications Regulation as a Market Surveillance Analyst in the Market Framework Division’s Product Safety Unit, with a focus on market surveillance and preparations linked to ComReg’s responsibilities under the EU AI Act.

Across these roles, my work has focused on how regulation moves from legal framework to institutional execution — how obligations are implemented, supervised, and made operational in real-world environments.

My broader interest is in the institutional and operational conditions that determine whether regulatory frameworks achieve their intended outcomes — a question that sits at the intersection of law, policy design, and organisational capacity.
