On 16th March, Valpy Fitzgerald joined Nvalue as our new CEO — a significant milestone in Nvalue’s journey. Valpy brings with him not just a career built across Europe’s energy markets, but a conviction: that the companies shaping the energy transition need partners, not just brokers. 

It’s a belief that fits naturally at Nvalue. Since 2008, this business has been built on the idea that expertise and relationships come before transactions — and that understanding a client’s context matters more than selling a product. With Valpy at the helm, that principle doesn’t change. If anything, it gets sharper. 

Why now, and why this change

Nvalue has evolved from a founder-led Swiss organization into a multi-market business serving clients across Europe, the USA, and beyond. To support this growth and our future ambitions, we recognized the importance of bringing in a CEO with the specific international experience to lead this next phase. 

A key priority under Valpy’s leadership will be to further strengthen the geographic expansion strategy already underway, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom. We see London as one of the leading global carbon hubs, making it a natural fit with our ambition to increase our presence in international carbon markets, especially in the area of carbon removals. By investing in the UK, we aim to enhance our access to global opportunities while deepening our expertise in rapidly evolving sectors such as carbon removals and biomethane. 

Why Valpy 

Valpy joins Nvalue with over a decade of senior leadership experience across electricity, gas, and carbon markets. After attaining a Master’s in Physics in the UK and teaching Sustainability at universities in Italy, he began his career as a gas and power analyst at Enron. He subsequently managed forecasting, hedging, and trading departments at Opus Energy and Drax Group. Before joining Nvalue, he served as Global Director of Sustainable Markets at Elimini, where he worked to establish the global market for Carbon Dioxide Removals. 

It’s a trajectory that moves from technical depth to strategic breadth — exactly the combination Nvalue needs as it enters its next phase of growth. 

But credentials alone don’t explain why Nvalue chose Valpy. Beyond the track record, what convinced us was the fit — with our values, our way of working, and the culture we have built over the years. Valpy understands that the energy transition is not an abstract policy objective, but a daily operational reality for the companies we serve. He shares Nvalue’s conviction that relationships matter more than transactions, and that trust — built slowly and carefully — is the real competitive advantage in this market. 

In his own words:

“We will prioritise relationships over tasks. We will make decisions quickly and reward initiative and accountability. And we will do all of this with equality, respect, and a love of the environment at the centre of everything we do.”

Commitment to continuity 

While this appointment marks an evolution in our management model, our commitment to continuity remains unchanged. The management team that has shaped Nvalue’s expertise and culture remains deeply engaged in the business. 

Alessandro Faccoli, as President of the Board, will work closely alongside Valpy to ensure the continuity of Nvalue’s legacy and to preserve the company’s identity as a reliable, transparent and agile partner. 

Dania Piccioli, as Chief Investment Officer, will partner with Valpy to drive the strategic vision and support the expansion of Nvalue’s commercial and marketing activities. 

Tiziano Tamburini will continue to lead all operational activities, ensuring that the organisational resources and infrastructure keep pace with the company’s growing ambitions. 

Krasimir Koev, as Chief Financial Officer, will continue to provide the financial discipline and rigour that underpin Nvalue’s ability to grow sustainably — the steady hand that gives the business the confidence to move fast. 
The team you work with, the processes you rely on, and the principles that guide our advice remain unchanged. 

A message from the new CEO

“I have long admired Nvalue’s role as a key player in the European renewable energy sector,” says Valpy Fitzgerald.
“I am honoured to lead this talented team as we embark on this next chapter together. In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting many of our partners and exploring how we can further strengthen our collaboration and achieve our climate goals.”

We are excited to welcome Valpy as we enter this next phase of Nvalue’s journey. 
We look forward to the future with confidence, remaining fully committed to supporting our partners in achieving their decarbonization goals.
