ELII - Adebayo Ogunlesi talk

GIIA’s Emerging Leaders in Infrastructure Investment network were pleased to hold their inaugural meeting last week, welcoming Founder and Managing Partner of Global Infrastructure Partners Mr Adebayo Ogunlesi to speak about his own career and take questions from members.

Attendees were able to hear first-hand about the career path that Bayo took, after initially practising as a lawyer before moving to Credit Suisse First Boston, rising to Head of Investment Banking and finally founding GIP in 2006.

During the webinar, ELII members asked a number of questions about the infrastructure asset class, managing risk, the challenges of fundraising for a first time fund and the impact of Covid-19 on the sector.

GIIA’s ELII network is a member-led organisation aimed at young professionals who are working within the infrastructure investment sector.
