About us

Two practitioners. One shared mission.

We founded IMPACTips in 2022, but our collaboration started in 2017, through Impact Europe (former EVPA). Since then we’ve worked with impact funds, foundations, financial institutions, social enterprises, accelerators, microfinance institutions across Europe and beyond, bringing together expertise in impact measurement and management, innovative finance, and strategy.

Every organisation we work with gets our full attention, our honest perspective, and our genuine orientation to transformative and impactful change.

Alessia Gianoncelli

With over a decade at Impact Europe, I fostered my expertise in impact measurement, knowledge development, and capacity building across the European impact finance ecosystem. I’ve built partnerships across geographies, co-authored publications, and spoken at international conferences. I co-founded IMPACTips to bring that expertise directly to organisations navigating their impact journey.

Gianluca Gaggiotti

As former Senior Knowledge Manager at Impact Europe, I led research and data initiatives focused on the European impact investing ecosystem. A 2025-2026 Obama Europe Leader, I co-founded IMPACTips to turn years of sector knowledge into hands-on advisory work – helping organisations not just understand impact, but act on it.

They trust us

We’ve had the privilege of working with organisations across Europe and beyond – from early-stage social enterprises and microfinance institutions to established foundations and impact funds.
