A pan-European investor specialising in greenfield and brownfield infrastructure, Marguerite, which is also active in Paris and Milan, has just announced a number of promotions within its Luxembourg team.

Pilar Gomez and Guillaume Rivron, who have been with the company since 2010, have been promoted to managing partners “in recognition of their leadership and contributions to Marguerite’s growth and strategic direction.” Gomez began her career in Spain with Banesto before moving to London, where she worked for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as senior banker and then for Santander Infrastructure capital as investment director. Rivron worked for EDF, then for Globeleq in London as director of business development.

Marguerite has also promoted Fabio Siragusa to partner, based in Milan. He joined the Marguerite team in France in 2010. Other promotions include Lorenzo Mosca as investment director (Paris), Alexis de Marotte as vice-president (Paris) and Roshni Ohri as associate (Paris). The ESG team will now be headed by Christophe Bonnat, who replaces Gomez.

These promotions come after the successful closing of the Marguerite III fund, which is the company's third infrastructure fund and raised over €700m in commitments. "The fund has already deployed more than 50% of its capital into projects that align with Marguerite’s focus on energy transition, digital infrastructure and sustainable transport,” the company said in its press release. Marguerite’s funds target “capital-intensive, sustainable investment opportunities with a particular focus on four sectors: (1) energy & renewables, (2) digital transformation, (3) waste & water and (4) transport.” The company manages four European infrastructure funds in total.

“I’m proud of the entire team--their efforts make a real difference in our mission to invest in sustainable, long-term infrastructure projects across Europe. These promotions are well-deserved and will help us continue delivering our strategy driving projects that benefit Europe and deliver good returns for our LPs,” said CEO and managing partner Nicolás Merigó.

In total, since its creation fifteen years ago, the firm has invested more than €2bn in 45 infrastructure projects across 16 countries. The company “continues to prioritise investments that support environmental sustainability and align with the Paris Agreement,” said Marguerite. “The firm has also joined the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, reinforcing its long-term commitment to climate goals.”
