Intermediate Capital Group (ICG), the specialist asset manager, has launched a new European Infrastructure Investment team dedicated to investing in core and core-plus infrastructure.
Core infrastructure investments could include: energy, transport, telecoms, environment and service industries. And core-plus investments are in the same sectors but involve more complex investment risks.
The new strategy will be led by Guillaume d’Engremont, who will become managing director and head of European infrastructure as of May. Also joining ICG are Jérôme Sousselier and Ludovic Laforge, who will report to d’Engremont. The team was previously working together at EDF Invest.
Most recently d’Engremont was head of EDF Invest, EDF’s investment arm in infrastructure, real estate and private equity, which he founded in 2013. He has held board positions in a number of infrastructure companies, including Nice Airport, Thyssengas, Porterbrook, TIGF/Terega, Geosel, Madrilena Red de Gas or Q-Park.
Sousselier joins as managing director. Previously, he was head of infrastructure at EDF Invest, where he was responsible for sourcing investments and identifying consortium partners, as well as driving the deal process. He has held board positions in a number of infrastructure companies such as Thyssengas, TIGF/Terega or Madrilena Red de Gas.
Laforge joins as associate director. Laforge was part of EDF Invest infrastructure investment team responsible for sourcing and executing transactions across Europe, and managing portfolio companies. He previously worked in mergers and acquisitions at EDF and Rothschild. He has held board positions in a number of infrastructure companies such as Géosel or Nice Airport.
