Credit Suisse Australia has appointed Timothy Foy as a managing director and its head of infrastructure for Australia.

Foy, a senior banker with 26 years’ experience, has a track record of successful origination and execution of high-profile infrastructure transactions in Australia. He joins the bank from Jefferies where he was a managing director and the head of infrastructure. Previously, he held senior roles at RBC Capital Markets and Rothschild.

In the last 18 months, Foy has advised on OMER’s acquisition of a stake in Transgrid, Australian Super’s sale of a stake in Ausgrid and its acquisition of Optus Towers as well as Australian Tower Network’s acquisition of Axicom. In recent years, other high-profile transactions he has been involved with include advising Aware Super on the acquisition of the NSW Land Registry and of the Victorian Land Titles Registry, the sale of Sunshine Coast Airport, and the Hastings Consortium’s acquisition of Transgrid.

“Foy will work closely with our regional and global infrastructure coverage team,” says Angelo Scasserra, the bank’s co-head of international banking and capital markets for Australia. “Infrastructure is an important sector, which will continue to be a source of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, and institutional investment.”
