With great sadness, Financial News reports that our much-loved colleague Massimo Valeri passed away last week at the age of 57 after suffering a heart attack.

Massimo, fondly known as Max or Maxi by colleagues and friends, joined Financial News more than two decades ago as senior advertising sales director following an illustrious career at Euromoney PLC. He went on to become a client partner representing all of Dow Jones’ products, including The Wall Street Journal, to finance advertisers throughout the EMEA region.
