Impax Asset Management has hired Sean Maguire as a managing director to expand its work within private equity and infrastructure. Maguire, who joined on 11 January, has 13 years’ experience in the renewables markets, having worked for European utilities and development companies with a focus on mergers and acquisitions. He was most recently at the Norwegian state utility Statkraft. In his new capacity, Maguire, who will be based in London, will primarily focus on sourcing and executing new investment opportunities. His appointment follows the recent arrival of Casey Forester, who joined the same team as a director and fundraising specialist in October 2019. Maguire reports directly to Carsten Johansen, managing director and head of the Impax private equity/infrastructure transaction team.
