Christian Tabbò

Christian is Senior Legal Counsel for Italy at Queequeg Renewables. With 25 years’ legal experience and extensive experience in renewable energy litigation.

By day, Christian Tabbò navigates the legal complexities of the Italian renewables market. By night, he wrangles a contract far less compliant: an 11-year-old with an impressive ability to turn a whisper into a public announcement. His legal expertise lies in contracts, but his most valuable life skill, undoubtedly, was honed during a formative period as a kiwi picker in New Zealand: patience under pressure!

Quote

“While I may not be able to single-handedly power Italy, ensuring clean energy contracts are watertight and delivered on time brings its own kind of satisfaction. At Queequeg Renewables, due diligence meets 'can-do,' and that's something I can truly stand behind.”

Q

How would you explain your role within the company to a child?

A

Think of me as the guardian of green contracts – making sure they're watertight, efficient, and delivered on time. After all, a sustainable future can't wait for paperwork delays, legal compliance and risk mitigation!

Q

What initially drew you to the field of renewable energy?

A

The beauty. Even though he fought against windmills while I write contracts for wind turbines, it's a touch of Don Quixote in me because I find that wind turbines are so beautiful: they stand tall like the giants of yore, but their battle is for a cleaner, more sustainable future – and that's a cause I'm proud to champion, one contract at a time.

Q

How would you describe your approach to working with colleagues at Queequeg?

A

I believe in fostering collaboration and open communication, while maintaining a detail-oriented and results-driven approach. All of which is far more easily achieved with a light and smiling approach. For example, it was a pleasure to recently receive this response from an engineer colleague to whom I had asked for a series of very boring cadastral surveys: "Reading your emails is so enjoyable and fun that in the evening I almost regret leaving the office".
