Global Infrastructure Partners

Global Infrastructure Partners is a New York City-based private equity firm that invests in and manages large-scale physical infrastructure assets worldwide. The organization applies private equity-style operational improvements to complex transportation, energy, and water systems, having been initially capitalized by major institutional backers including Credit Suisse and General Electric. Over its history, the firm's extensive portfolio of infrastructure assets has included prominent international transportation hubs and networks such as Gatwick Airport and the Italian high-speed rail operator Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori. Operating globally with a dedicated workforce of approximately 400 direct employees, the firm reached a significant financial milestone in January 2024 when asset management giant BlackRock agreed to acquire the entire business for an estimated $12.5 billion. Global Infrastructure Partners was originally founded in 2006 by founding partners Adebayo Ogunlesi, Matt Harris, and Bill Woodburn.
