Quinbrook taps Fiona Reynolds for advisory board role

Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, the renewable energy investor, has appointed  Fiona Reynolds to its advisory board.

Reynolds, the outgoing chief executive of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment will join Quinbrook when she steps down from her current role later this year. She has led the PRI for the past nine years responsible for overseeing over 4,000 signatories representing $121 trillion in assets.

Reynolds is a board member of UN Global Compact, Steering Committee - Climate Action IOO and the Investor Agenda, a member of the Global Advisory Council on Stranded Assets at Oxford University, and the Advisory Board for the Green Investment Principles for the Belt and Road.

It's the latest of a series of appointments for Reynolds which include chief executive of Conexus Financial, a member of a proposed new advisory board at Affirmative Investment Management, and independent director of the Frontier Board.

Commenting on her appointment, Reynolds said she was delighted to join Quinbrook  - a firm focused exclusively on investment in impactful infrastructure solutions that help resolve the climate emergency.

"As we head to COP26 in Glasgow, we must move from commitment to action, with investors pro-actively changing the way they invest, and this includes investing right now in climate solutions, the technology, and energy solutions that will power the industry of tomorrow," she said.

"Business as usual - investing as usual - is not going to get us to Net Zero she added. In my life post-PRI, I want to work with people who are making a real difference in the world."

Quinbrook co-founder and managing partner David Scaysbrook said: "Few other individuals have blazed the trail that Fiona has in placing responsible investment at the forefront of priorities for institutional investors the world over.

"She has been a true leader and her tireless efforts have been important and impactful. We are beyond excited to welcome Fiona to our board of senior advisors and know she will be highly influential in helping to shape Quinbrook's future."
