Tiger Infrastructure Partners

Tiger Infrastructure Partners

Tiger Infrastructure Partners was founded in 2010 by Emil Henry, Jr., who previously led the Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection at the U.S. Treasury before building Lehman Brothers' infrastructure private equity business. Henry assembled the core team that still manages the firm today, translating a public-sector thesis — that mature economies continually generate demand for new infrastructure assets — into a private-equity strategy focused on growth-stage, middle-market deals. The firm deploys capital across three sectors: Digital Infrastructure, Energy Transition, and Transportation. Its investment approach centers on providing growth capital to create, expand, or consolidate real-asset businesses that provide essential services, then selling those scaled enterprises to traditional infrastructure investors. Portfolio holdings span fiber networks (Crosslake Fibre), renewable energy (Forsa Energy, Unison Energy), district energy (IAC), aviation services (Modern Aviation, NorthLink Aviation), and EV charging infrastructure (Qwello). Tiger additionally holds positions in waste-to-resource facilities (Raptor Waste Solutions), recycled materials (Bolder Industries), and broadband providers (Voneus). Geographically, the firm invests across North America and Europe, sourcing from offices in New York and London. Tiger fields over 50 investment professionals and operating partners. The firm maintains a value-added approach, applying a commercial private-equity toolkit to infrastructure assets, and has completed 50+ add-on acquisitions alongside 800+ underlying assets across its portfolio. The leadership group — including COO Marc Blair and Senior Managing Directors Alessandro Boninsegna and Adam Emmert — has operated as a cohesive unit since the team's tenure at Lehman Brothers. Tiger is a signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and integrates ESG principles directly into its investment process, with portfolio boards and management teams focused on decarbonization, data demand, and regulatory-driven infrastructure replacement. Tiger's structural differentiator is its explicit focus on middle-market growth infrastructure — a segment it considers less competitive than large-cap core infrastructure — executed by a team whose senior ranks trace their collaboration to a single predecessor institution. The firm intentionally targets assets that require commercial acceleration before they become suitable for acquisition by traditional infrastructure buyers, operating as a build-and-scale vehicle rather than a buy-and-hold steward.
