Michael Meeser
Power & Infrastructure Finance
I head a team that acts as developer, equity investor and/or lender in a range of power and infrastructure sectors. Through our responsible partnerships and dedication to furthering wind, solar power and various other sustainable projects, we have had a 10 year commitment to making Africa’s future brighter.
Background/experience
I have over 20 years’ experience in project finance. I worked for Edison Mission Energy in London, an independent power developer. From May 2013 to April 2015 I took a brief break from the financial sector and was the chief financial officer for Coal of Africa, a company listed on three stock exchanges with its primary listing on the Australian Stock Exchange. I then re-joined Investec and was tasked with establishing a fund with a mandate to invest equity in the electricity sector in sub-Saharan Africa.
