AMP Capital Investors has appointed Scott Davies as its new global head of infrastructure.
His appointment came as Phil Garling, current head of infrastructure at AMP Capital, announced he would retire in July.
Davies was chief executive officer of Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group from its inception in 2002. Prior to that, he held senior investment roles for Macquarie Capital in New York and London, where he was responsible for Macquarie Group’s cross-border asset financing activities.
He had also held roles at Hambros Bank in London and Sydney, as well as Minter Ellison in Sydney.
When he takes over from Garling in July, Davies will report to AMP Capital managing director, Stephen Dunne.
“Scott’s 15 years of direct infrastructure experience will provide a strong basis from which we will continue to expand our global investment opportunities for clients,” Dunne said.
