Massimo Quaglini - CEO, Edison Trading

Tell us something about you

I'm Massimo Quaglini, CEO of Edison Trading, a subsidiary of Edison Spa which is responsible for the group's energy management activities, which is a series of activities ranging from optimising the Group's facilities and their value on the markets, to trading, i.e. availing of arbitrage opportunities in the commodities market and subsequently optimising the uses of the group, by balancing production sources and purchases on the one hand with sales both on forward market and commercial sales on the other.

The activities of this company are the middle link of the chain that starts with traditional power generation activities and ends with commercial activity, and as such they are the group's access to wholesale market. This is the context where Edison Trading operates in stock markets. It's been working in the Italian stock market since 2004 and it has recently become market maker for the unified energy price (PUN) futures index for the Italian energy market, and for the German market in products having the said unified price as an underlying. 

Where do you operate? 

Our reference market is Italy, which is where our facilities are located, but we operate on all markets with connections to Italy. This means France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Eastern Europe, where we also have local operational offices in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

The team 

Much depends on the activities and the dynamic nature of the markets we are working on. We need people who are dynamic, who can easily deal with constant change and are adaptable, flexible, with good analytical and synthesis skills, who can make swift decisions and have a high degree of entrepreneurial thinking.
