AMP Capital appoints Investment Director for Infrastructure Equity team

AMP Capital has announced the appointment of Stasha Prnjatovic to the newly-created role of investment director, energy within the infrastructure equity team in Sydney, effective 17 July 2017.

In this role, Prnjatovic will lead the sourcing, onboarding and asset management of Australian and New Zealand energy infrastructure assets on behalf of AMP Capital's investors. She will report to Michael Cummings, AMP Capital head of Australia and New Zealand infrastructure equity funds.

Prnjatovic will join from New South Wales Treasury where she was most recently a commercial director, overseeing the $34 billion privatisation of TransGrid, Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy. Previously, Prnjatovic was investment manager at New South Wales Treasury, responsible for monitoring, reporting and influencing the performance of the state's $38 billion electricity sector.

Commenting on her appointment, AMP Capital global head of infrastructure equity, Boe Pahari, said: "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 such as Powerco NZ and Evergen. 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 for the benefit of our investors."
