X Machina Capital Appoints JPM Vet as IR Head Amidst $300M Fund II Raise

Fort Lauderdale, FL-based energy investment manager X Machina Capital Strategies (XMC) has named a new executive charged with deepening the firm’s relationships with investors and strategic partners at a time when it is in the early stages of raising capital for a $300M fund launched in September. 

XMC said October 24 that it has named Rosemarie “Rose” Cicalese as managing director and head of investor relations. She will serve as a member of the firm’s senior investment team, which seeks to originate new resource allocation opportunities and manage the XMC investment portfolio. Cicalese joins from Juniper Capital, where she served as director of investor relations, and before that held a variety of relationship-oriented management positions over 16 years at JP Morgan. 

XMC acquires oil and gas assets, seeking technology and operational enhancements in those businesses while, through a related entity, performing primary origination of carbon credits. In a Form D filed September 27, the firm announced the launch of its second fund, X Machina Capital Strategies Fund II, with a total fundraising target of $300M.
