Raj Agrawal, KKR Member and Global Head of KKR’s infrastructure business, said, “We are delighted to welcome David to the leadership team of our global infrastructure business. His track record and vast experience building and managing infrastructure investment businesses makes him the ideal candidate to build an infrastructure platform in the Asia Pacific region, which is an attractive part of KKR’s global infrastructure investment strategy. Across the region, distinct macroeconomic and societal trends are fostering a unique need for expertise and private capital solutions for projects in a wide range of infrastructure sub-sectors.”
“Our strategy in Asia Pacific is to take the experience and expertise of KKR’s global platform and adapt it to local-market conditions to support local management teams to build world-class companies across the region,” said Ming Lu, Member and Head of KKR Asia. “David is a proven leader and culture carrier who we are confident can help us leverage KKR’s strong local presence and execute on a strategy that brings this same approach to Asia’s infrastructure markets.
