He will now work alongside Christian Jamison, chief executive and managing partner, to lead the growth of Valor’s platform across Europe, as it looks to double its assets under management to €6bn (£5.2bn) in the next three years.
Over the past four years, Napolitano has brought significant innovation to Valor’s investment strategy, which has been pivotal to the accelerated growth of its pan-European platform.
Alongside a focus on the core markets of London and Paris, Napolitano has overseen Valor’s expansion into Berlin, Frankfurt, Manchester and Birmingham.
He developed Valor’s first in-house research facility and proprietary data platform, the centrepiece of the firm’s data-led approach that enables the team to stay ahead of market movements and identify off-market opportunities.
Prior to Valor, Napolitano worked within the UK acquisitions team at IDI Gazeley, and spent three years at KTR Capital Partners as an investment professional covering the Miami and Atlanta markets.
Jamison said: “Cane has been central to the growth of Valor over the past seven years, overseeing the rapid aggregation of a best-in-class pan-European last-mile portfolio. The promotion is a testament to our meritocratic culture, where mentorship and organic growth are engrained in our ethos.”
Napolitano, added: “Strengthening our highly analytical and data-led investment capacity across Europe will be integral to remaining at the forefront of last-mile logistics as consumer-led e-commerce patterns continue to evolve.
“I am confident we will build on our market-leading position and capitalise on sectoral dislocations through the use of this technology.”
