Infracapital, the infrastructure equity investment arm of M&G plc, is pleased to announce Latifa Tefridj-Gaillard as Head of Capital Formation and Investor Relations. She will be based in London and start later this year.

Latifa joins Infracapital from DigitalBridge where she was a Managing Director and Head of European Capital Formation. She was primarily responsible for Capital Formation and Investor Relations in Europe and the Credit strategy globally. She was a member of the ESG committee and a board member of Wildstone, the leading outdoor media infrastructure company in the UK.

Her prior experience includes an extensive career at Goldman Sachs International where she spent over 16 years in Global Markets & Investment Banking. Latifa successfully led a number of European public and private transactions across asset classes with a focus on capital raising, structured financings, and hedging strategies. Whilst at Goldman Sachs, Latifa assisted and managed the formation of over $40 billion in funds across the capital structure. Altogether, Tefridj-Gaillard brings nearly two decades of experience to her new role, where she will be responsible for Capital Raising & Client Relations, supporting Business Development, Sustainability and Communications initiatives.

Latifa holds a Masters degree in Banking, Finance and Insurance from Paris IX Dauphine University and a Masters in Finance and Actuarial Science from ESSEC Business School in Paris. 

The Investor Relations team has been further strengthened in the last twelve months with the addition of three new Associates with a set of diverse competencies, backgrounds and perspectives across infrastructure M&A, IR and Brand & Communication to continue serving our global partners.

Brittany Mark joined from IFM Investors where she was in the Investor Relations team focusing on infrastructure equity. Brittany studied Finance at Auckland University of Technology.

These recent appointments together with the existing team and one further hire early next year will support the growing global investor base and the wider momentum at Infracapital to continue investing in essential European infrastructure and delivering sustainable value for our investors.

“We are excited to welcome Latifa to Infracapital.
