John Walker, Executive Chairman of Infrastructure, Utilities and Renewables Asia for Macquarie Capital and Chairman of Macquarie Group, Korea, stepped into his new role with InfraCo Asia because, he says, the big-picture potential of this relatively young company, is panoramic.

GuarantCo, like InfraCo Asia, is a facility of the London-based Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), and it too has a mandate focused on facilitating infrastructure investment in low-income regions. Chris Vermont is the Managing Director of GuarantCo at Frontier Markets Fund Managers, and he sees very clearly the collective impact being made through the work of InfraCo Asia and GurantCo in South and South East Asia.

Ids Groenhout has over 50 years of experience working in infrastructure, so it is intriguing that he singles out InfraCo Asia’s Coc San Hydro Power Project in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam, as a highlight of his professional life.

Nhu Quynh Ta is General Director of Lao Cai Renewable Energy, the project company responsible for running the InfraCo Asia-supported Coc San Hydro Power Project. She shares what it’s like to be one of the first women to take a lead role in Vietnam’s hydro power sector.
