Who we are

Your advocate in the energy market.

Value Add Energy is an independent commercial energy advisory firm working with businesses across Texas to reduce electricity and natural gas costs. We’re not a retail energy provider, and we don’t represent suppliers. We work exclusively for you, the energy consumer.

We stay active in the market every day, tracking rate movements, monitoring contract opportunities, and analyzing trends across ERCOT and beyond. This ongoing market engagement means that when it’s time to make a decision on your energy supply, we’re not starting from scratch. We come to the table with context, data, and a clear picture of what’s available and what it’s worth.

What sets us apart isn’t just what we do, it’s how we do it. We’re a small, focused team, which means our clients work directly with the people managing their accounts. No call centers, no hand-offs. Just straightforward advice, transparent analysis, and a genuine commitment to finding the best outcome for every client we serve.

Our Team

The people behind the work

A small team with deep market expertise, working directly for you.

Angie Cucchi

Project Manager
Before joining Value Add Energy, Angie led a team of auditors within Microsoft’s Outlook mobile support division, where she focused on quality analysis, staff development, and strategic planning.
That background in process management and operational oversight translated naturally into her role at Value Add Energy, where she manages client projects, coordinates advisory engagements, and handles the research that keeps the team ahead of market changes.
She holds a BA in Advertising and Public Relations from Universidad de Palermo, Buenos Aires.

Jesse Foote

Energy Specialist
Jesse leads business development at Value Add Energy, bringing a research-driven approach to identifying and building new client relationships. Prior to joining the firm, he worked as a market research consultant at Navigant, where he advised corporate clients on the forces shaping their industries.
He also has significant experience in the green building sector and has been instrumental in launching three nonprofit organizations.
Jesse studied engineering at Dartmouth College.

Paul Honeysuckle

Finance Specialist
Paul oversees the financial operations of Value Add Energy, including capital budgeting, financial reporting, banking relationships, and vendor management. His work ensures that the firm’s internal structure is as disciplined as the advice it gives clients.
Beyond internal finance, Paul’s accounting background informs how the firm approaches cost analysis and contract evaluation on behalf of its clients.
He holds an undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and is a Certified Public Accountant.

Maryon Suzuki

Market Intelligence Analyst
Maryon brings an analytical foundation that’s uncommon in the energy advisory space. He holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from UniSociesc and spent several years as a head chemist at an industrial galvanizing facility, where he developed a strong grasp of energy-intensive processes and operational cost structures.
At Value Add Energy, he applies that technical mindset to data analysis and market intelligence, supporting the team’s ability to interpret consumption patterns, evaluate supplier bids, and identify cost-saving opportunities that aren’t always visible on the surface.
