Carolyn Pearce and Daniel Timms

Igneo Infrastructure Partners, a global infrastructure investment manager, has appointed two new partners, Carolyn Pearce and Daniel Timms, to join the firm’s existing seven partners in managing its global business and strategy.

Pearce will join as partner and global head of capital formation in October, based in London. In this newly created role, she will oversee all investor relations, fundraising and consultant engagement globally, helping to drive Igneo’s growth and ambitious expansion plans.

Pearce will lead investor relations teams based in Europe, Australia and North America, reporting to managing director and global head Niall Mills. Pearce has significant investment experience in the infrastructure sector, with over 15 years spent in leadership roles, working across investor relations, capital raising, and product development.

As a managing director at Stonepeak, and previously as head of investor relations and ESG at Infracapital ( part of M&G Prudential ), Pearce was responsible for investor servicing and coverage, capital formation strategy, new product initiatives, and fundraising execution. Her roles also included ESG advisory.

Pearce began her career in the investment banking division of Goldman Sachs. She helped to found the Infrastructure Industry Foundation, which, since its inception in 2019, has raised over £2 million ( US$2.68 million ) for charity, including developing a social mobility programme for the industry.

Pearce holds an executive MBA from the Said Business School at Oxford University. Originally from New Zealand, she earned a first-class degree in finance economics from the University of Auckland.

Timms, who starts his role as a partner on October 1st, joined Igneo in 2016. He has played a key role in developing the ANZ business, including sitting on the investment committees of the Global Diversified Infrastructure Fund and Australian New Zealand Diversified Infrastructure Fund.

Prior to Igneo, Timms held a number of senior roles at Origin Energy for over 13 years. He holds first-class honours in mechanical engineering from the University of Adelaide, a masters of applied finance from Kaplan Business School and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
