Tiger Infrastructure Partners (Tiger), a specialist in providing growth capital to enable the creation of new infrastructure, has appointed three new Operating Partners – Steve Holliday, Christine Weydig, and Graham Sharp – who bring decades of deep domain expertise and experience in energy policy, energy transition, and business-building.
Holliday is the former Chief Executive of National Grid plc and current Chairman of Tiger portfolio company Zenobe Energy, which develops, owns and operates battery storage projects in the United Kingdom.
Weydig is the former Director of Sustainability at the Port Authority of NY & NJ and incoming Executive Director of the Coalition for Reimagined Mobility which seeks to advance equitable and sustainable transportation globally.
Sharp, formerly a founder of global energy trader Trafigura, is a Senior Advisor to Oliver Wyman focused on energy transition.
Tiger’s new Operating Partners’ expertise will help to grow the firm’s portfolio companies, including three recent energy transition investments from the firm’s Fund III – which closed oversubscribed at its $1.25 billion hard cap in April 2022. These are: Summit Carbon Solutions, a carbon capture and storage/sequestration (CCS) platform that has partnered with 32 ethanol plants to develop and operate the largest CCS project in the world; Qwello, an electric vehicle charging infrastructure platform that provides turnkey offerings to local municipalities in Europe; and Forsa Energy, a developer of flexible power generation assets in the United Kingdom supporting the UK’s goal of a renewable future.
