She joins PrivateMarketsCo from Atlas Arteria, a global owner, operator and developer of toll roads, where she has been CFO and CFO Elect since 2018.

Shawn Johnson PrivateMarketsCo Chief Executive commented:
“Nadine is incredibly well-regarded in the industry and I’m very pleased she is joining PrivateMarketsCo. Her recruitment further strengthens the leadership team, especially as Nadine brings valuable listed ASX experience ahead of the planned demerger in 1H 2022. I look forward to working with Nadine and the new board, led by Chairman designate Patrick Snowball.
“We have made significant progress on separating the business from AMP Limited, to establish an independent, stand-alone global manager of infrastructure and real estate investments. Nadine, alongside me, will be responsible in delivering our strategy to separate, simplify and broaden our client base and diversify our investment capabilities.”
Ms Lennie will commence her role in April 2022 and will be based in Australia.
