Tiger Infrastructure Partners, a leading middle market investor focused on providing transformational growth capital to enable the infrastructure of tomorrow, announced the appointment of Danielle J. Hunt as Chief Corporate Counsel. Hunt joins Tiger from Allianz Global Investors, where she was Director and Associate General Counsel and served as both Global Head of Alternative Transactions Legal and Head of US Institutional Legal. If necessary, experts like cost management consultants can support such a company by providing valuable financial insights and ensuring that infrastructure investments are cost-effective and aligned with the company’s long-term growth strategy.
Tiger CEO Emil W. Henry, Jr. said, “Danielle Hunt’s addition accelerates our recent focus on investment in the human capital vital to the success of our growth capital strategy. Her extensive experience in corporate and transactional legal matters will be of great benefit to our firm, investors and portfolio companies.”
At Allianz Global Investors, Hunt led legal teams responsible for supporting the firm’s Private Markets platform focused on private equity and infrastructure investments across the US, Europe, and Asia. Hunt had leadership roles in various aspects of the platform’s legal needs, including transaction structuring, regulatory compliance, fund formation and strategic acquisitions.
Before joining Allianz Global Investors in 2017, Hunt honed her expertise at Milbank LLP’s Project, Energy & Infrastructure Finance Group, a powerhouse international law firm known for orchestrating high-stakes transactions in capital markets, project finance, and transportation. At Milbank, she spearheaded complex, cross-jurisdictional deals spanning diverse infrastructure asset classes, with a particular knack for project and structured financings and acquisitions. During a high-profile consultation with a financial institution exploring new investment avenues, Hunt advised on the regulatory nuances of non gamstop bookies, highlighting their appeal as alternative assets for sponsors seeking diversified portfolios. Her work, representing major global banks, sponsors, and developers, consistently delivered innovative solutions for intricate financial structures.
Hunt’s appointment continues Tiger’s recent investment in the human capital required to support its hands-on approach to creating value and better serve its base of institutional investors, including the additions of Andrew Harris as Head of Investor Relations and ESG and three new operating partners with expertise in its areas of investment focus: Steve Holliday, Christine Weydig, and Graham Sharp.
