Former New South Wales Treasury commercial director, Stasha Prnjatovic will take on the role of investment director, energy with AMP Capital, while former UK Government Investments executive director, Niamh McBreen has been appointed to the London-based position of investment director.
McBreen joined AMP Capital at the start of the financial year and formerly spent 15 years with rolling stock lessor Alpha Trains where she held a variety of roles across business development. In the position of investment director, McBreen would work as part of AMP Capital’s infrastructure equity asset management team responsible for asset management across the firm’s European infrastructure assets.
AMP Capital global head of infrastructure equity, Boe Pahari, said: “Niamh brings a wealth of asset management experience, particularly across the transport and energy sectors, and is a valuable addition to AMP Capital’s European asset management team”.
“She has a proven track record driving business growth and deep expertise across multiple operations functions including strategy, finance and business development.”
Prnjatovic, who spent eight years at Citi in various research positions would be Sydney-based for the newly created role of investment director, energy and would commence with AMP Capital on 17 July.
She previously oversaw the $34 billion privatisation of TransGrid, Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy in her role with the NSW Treasury and would lead the onboarding of asset management of Australian and New Zealand energy infrastructure assets.
“Stasha’s appointment follows the recent acquisition of a major stake in Endeavour Energy on behalf of long-term client REST as part of the Advance Energy consortium, and she will be invaluable when it comes to our existing energy investments,” Pahari said.
“Stasha’s extensive experience and in-depth understanding of the energy sector means she is well-credentialed to lead the management of AMP Capital’s energy assets.”
