Amapola, the consultancy firm specializing in sustainability since 2009, part of Torino Social Impact network, takes another step forward in its growth journey: Daniela Bianchi begins a strategic collaboration with the company as a senior consultant. This marks the consolidation of an already established relationship, having worked together on major national infrastructure projects. In these contexts, she has played a key role in enhancing dialogue among businesses, institutions, and communities, through a systemic and relational approach that values trust-building and contextual understanding.

Her involvement brings a dual enhancement to Amapola: on one hand, her entry into the “Special Projects” area, where she contributes her expertise in complex decision-making processes; on the other, a strengthening of Amapola’s positioning in Rome and the Central-Southern regions of Italy, thanks to her in-depth knowledge of local dynamics and institutional frameworks.

A key figure among institutions, businesses, and communities

Daniela Bianchi, currently Secretary General of FERPI, is a recognized expert in institutional relations, sustainable governance, and the management of socially impactful, complex projects. As a former Regional Councillor for Lazio, she promoted progressive policies on sustainable economic development and culture, leading participatory processes and public debates. She has managed ESG transformation projects in the financial sector, held leadership roles in the Third Sector, and teaches at several university master’s programs. She is also a published author.

At Amapola, she focuses on institutional intelligence and socio-territorial consulting, with a particular emphasis on participatory processes and sustainability initiatives.

A key element in Amapola’s growth strategy

With Daniela Bianchi’s collaboration, Amapola continues a path of consistent and robust development, which in recent months has seen the addition of new professionals and the opening of new positions. This steady growth is driven by a team enriched with complementary skills and perspectives, aiming to solidify Amapola’s presence across the national territory.

Working with Daniela, notes Amapola founder Luca Valpreda, is a crucial step in laying the foundation for a strategic presence in Rome, which will serve the steadily growing clientele in Central and Southern Italy. It’s a beautiful and demanding challenge, and Daniela is the right professional for it, with her strong expertise and long-standing experience. Her ability to understand contexts, build connections, and activate change processes will be vital to our continued growth with both vision and local grounding.

Working with the Amapola team, I have come to appreciate an approach that combines technical expertise, relational capacity, and attentive listening, all driven by a strategic vision that goes beyond traditional consulting, says Daniela Bianchi. In a time when sustainability calls for increasingly integrated approaches and shared responsibility among all system actors, this collaboration offers the ideal setting to develop innovative frameworks and solutions to face our collective challenges.
