Biographical details and transaction data reflect each individual's career history as at the date of publication. Prior roles and experience are described for informational purposes only and do not constitute a representation that those individuals' prior employers endorse or are associated with Monard Infrastructure Inc. or any of its investment activities. The combined deal-experience figure of USD 100 billion+ represents aggregate asset-management and project-finance transactions completed by Investment Committee members across their respective careers, not the assets or liabilities of Monard Infrastructure Inc. Transaction figures are expressed in US dollars at indicative September 2026 foreign exchange rates (AUD 0.72, NZD 0.57, EUR 1.15). No grand total is presented across process categories as the columns measure different things — asset values, debt face values, equity co-investment amounts and construction costs are not additive.
