KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced the appointment
of David Luboff as Member and Head of Asia Pacific Infrastructure. He is
based in KKR’s Singapore office and will lead the Pan-Asian operations

Raj Agrawal, KKR Member and Global Head of KKR’s infrastructure
business, said, “We are delighted to welcome David to the leadership
team of our global infrastructure business. His track record and vast
experience building and managing infrastructure investment businesses
makes him the ideal candidate to build an infrastructure platform in the
Asia Pacific region, which is an attractive part of KKR’s global
infrastructure investment strategy. Across the region, distinct
macroeconomic and societal trends are fostering a unique need for
expertise and private capital solutions for projects in a wide range of
infrastructure sub-sectors.”
“Our strategy in Asia Pacific is to take the experience and expertise of
KKR’s global platform and adapt it to local-market conditions to support
local management teams to build world-class companies across the
region,” said Ming Lu, Member and Head of KKR Asia. “David is a proven
leader and culture carrier who we are confident can help us leverage

Investment Officer and CEO of Macquarie Specialized Asset Management, as
well as CFO of ASX-listed MAp Airports. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce
(Actuarial) and a Bachelor of Applied Finance from Macquarie University.
Established in 2008, KKR’s infrastructure team consists of more than 28
dedicated investment professionals who handle transactions across a
range of sub-sectors and geographies. KKR’s infrastructure business
manages approximately $13 billion in assets under management.
Mr. Luboff’s appointment follows the recent close of KKR’s latest Global
