Cambio al vertice di sonnen Italia

Vincenzo Ferreri, CEO e fondatore di sonnen in Italia, passa il testimone a Fabio Ottavi, attuale National Sales Manager B2B dell’azienda. 

Fabio Ottavi assume l’incarico di General Manager di sonnen Italia e sonnen eServices Italia. Con un’esperienza di oltre dieci anni nel settore delle rinnovabili, prima in Yingli Solar e poi in sonnen dal 2016, Fabio Ottavi ha sempre affrontato con entusiasmo e competenza le sfide del mercato, offrendo un importante contributo alla crescita dell’azienda al fianco di Vincenzo Ferreri. Dal 2021, in qualità di National Sales Manager B2B, si è dedicato al rafforzamento del canale B2B, ricoprendo un ruolo determinante nello sviluppo del progetto dedicato alla rete di installatori sonnenBusiness Partner.

La sua forte propensione alle relazioni interpersonali e la capacità di lavorare per obiettivi, ne fanno la figura ideale per proseguire con successo la strada tracciata dal suo predecessore. La sua nomina conferma, altresì, l’importanza che riveste il canale B2B per sonnen Italia.

“Sono onorato di assumere la guida di sonnen Italia – conferma Fabio Ottavi - e sono orgoglioso dei risultati che, grazie anche alla coesione e alla determinazione di tutto il Team, siamo riusciti a ottenere in questi anni. Il nostro mercato è in costante evoluzione, per questo metterò in campo tutte le mie energie e tutta la mia determinazione, affinché sonnen Italia possa continuare a contribuire alla transizione energetica e a trasformare le sfide future in nuove opportunità per l’azienda e per l’ambiente”.       

Nathan Dunn, Chief Commercial Officer di sonnen, conferma il ruolo chiave del mercato italiano per la crescita del gruppo sonnen e la nomina di Fabio Ottavi rispecchia perfettamente la volontà del board di continuare a lavorare nel perseguimento della vision aziendale: "Energia pulita e a basso costo per tutti".

"Sin dalla sua nascita, sonnen ha concentrato gli sforzi nella realizzazione della propria vision. Sul mercato italiano questo è stato ancor più evidente che in altri Paesi. Fin dall'apertura della sede italiana nel 2015, il Team di sonnen Italia ha lavorato a stretto contatto con gli operatori di mercato e con i Partner nazionali per fornire soluzioni che consentissero ai clienti finali di partecipare, in prima persona, alla transizione energetica e raggiungere l’indipendenza energetica, grazie all’autoproduzione e autoconsumo di energia green. Fabio Ottavi ha una significativa esperienza nello sviluppo e nella fornitura di soluzioni innovative per il mercato italiano, strategico per sonnen, e potrà fornire un importante supporto al talentuoso Team italiano".

Vincenzo Ferreri lascia sonnen al termine di un percorso caratterizzato da una crescita costante. Dopo aver introdotto l’innovativa start-up tedesca sul mercato italiano nel 2015, Vincenzo Ferreri ha portato rapidamente l’azienda a diventare uno dei leader di mercato anche in Italia, attraverso step e cambi di rotta che hanno consentito di cogliere al meglio le opportunità di uno scenario in costante trasformazione, prima con la creazione di una fitta rete di Partner nel canale B2B, poi con il progetto EINS (Energy Indipendence Network sonnen), nato nel 2020, dedicato al canale B2C per offrire soluzioni complete per l’indipendenza energetica – ed infine nel 2021, con la riapertura del canale B2B. Sotto la guida di Vincenzo Ferreri, grazie alla sua dedizione e al suo spirito innovativo, sonnen Italia in sette anni ha raggiunto risultati straordinari, sia in termini di presenza sul mercato, che di fatturato.

“Non posso che guardare con soddisfazione e orgoglio a questi sette anni – sottolinea Vincenzo Ferreri – Il percorso è stato impegnativo e sfidante ma anche ricco di opportunità. Io e il mio Team, che ringrazio per la passione e la determinazione con cui mi ha seguito in maniera instancabile in questi anni, abbiamo lavorato assiduamente per affermare il brand sonnen e il concetto di indipendenza energetica, coniugando crescita aziendale e sviluppo delle rinnovabili. Adesso però, considero completata la mia mission in sonnen e sento di dover voltare pagina e guardare verso nuovi orizzonti, nuove sfide e nuovi entusiasmanti progetti. Sono felice di passare il testimone a Fabio Ottavi, da sempre al mio fianco in sonnen e nel quale ripongo la massima fiducia. Fabio può contare su un Team preparato, competente e che, sono certo, saprà supportarlo al meglio.”

No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 (available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this release and should be considered by the reader.  Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this release, March 24, 2023. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information.

Shell’s net carbon footprint

Also, in this release we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Footprint” or “Net Carbon Intensity”, which include Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Footprint” or “Net Carbon Intensity” are for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target

Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year.  They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Footprint (NCF) targets over the next ten years.  However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCF target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

This release may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

The contents of websites referred to in this release do not form part of this release.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this release that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC.  Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
