JLL has announced the appointment of James Cameron as the head of energy and infrastructure for Asia Pacific, specifically for its capital markets business line. In a press release issued on January 14, the real estate consulting firm stated that Singapore will be the base for this newly created role.
Cameron’s main responsibility will be building a team in Asia Pacific, which will complement JLL’s EMEA Energy & Infrastructure business and create a global capital advisory capability. This will help the firm better serve local and international developers and investors.
According to JLL, Cameron’s appointment is in line with the long-term capital requirements needed to facilitate the infrastructure and renewables build-out that is necessary to meet the challenges of decarbonisation, digitalisation, economic growth, and rapid urbanisation.
Stuart Crow, JLL Asia Pacific’s CEO of capital markets, says that the firm sees significant opportunity in leveraging its unique expertise in mobilising multiple sources of capital and JLL’s unrivalled track record in advising renewables transactions globally to serve clients within the energy and infrastructure sector across Asia Pacific.
Cameron will work closely with JLL’s capital markets, investment banking, and debt advisory teams across the region. His main focus will be on origination of capital raising and transaction advisory opportunities for large infrastructure and renewable transactions, serving institutional investors, private equity, asset managers, strategic infrastructure and renewables operators and developers, high net-worth individuals, and family offices.
With over 25 years of experience in real asset capital markets, Cameron was previously the global head of commercial real estate at Standard Chartered Bank. He has a deep understanding of mobilising various forms of private and public equity and financing across global and regional infrastructure.
Crow adds that James’ experience in this exciting space is unmatched regionally, and the firm has full confidence in his ability to establish JLL’s leadership position through his expertise and client relationships. This appointment is expected to help JLL strengthen its position in the energy and infrastructure sector in the region.
