Global infrastructure investor HRL Morrison & Co has appointed Perry Offutt as head of North America, effective mid-October, strengthening Morrison & Co’s representation in the region.
Offutt brings more than 20 years of extensive infrastructure investment and industry experience, particularly in deal origination and execution, with a strong track record of success.
Announcing the appointment, Morrison & Co chief executive Marko Bogoievski said: “Perry’s deep knowledge of the infrastructure markets, his experience in the renewables and digital sectors, and his considerable transaction experience are a great fit for our ambitious firm.”
Morrison & Co global head of private markets William Smales said: “We are very pleased to have Perry join us at an important stage of our growth strategy.”
Smales, a member of the firm’s investment and management committees and a recognised thought leader in digital infrastructure investment, chose to base his global investment role from New York in August this year, reaffirming Morrison & Co’s commitment to its international growth strategy.
Offutt said: “I look forward to building upon Morrison & Co’s long and successful track record of ‘investing wisely in ideas that matter’. There are significant investment opportunities in North America.”
Offutt joins Morrison & Co from UBS Asset Management, where he most recently held the role of managing director, head of infrastructure Americas. Prior to this, he worked at Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets where he was managing director on the North American investment team and at Morgan Stanley, where he was head of infrastructure banking for the Americas.
Established in 1988, Morrison & Co has been investing in US renewable energy markets since 2016 and opened its New York office in 2020 to expand its presence in North America, and build on three decades of successful infrastructure investment globally.
