Allard Nooy is a true infrastructure veteran and a legend in Asia’s energy industry.
He has spent over 30 years building infrastructure across Asia’s toughest markets. From a startup posting across Vietnam in 1994, the year the country opened to foreign investment, to nine years as CEO of InfraCo Asia, where his team closed 40 project joint ventures across 12 countries.
Allard talks through the line he set early and never crossed on corruption in emerging markets, the leadership philosophy behind three decades of managing teams in the region, and the story behind Vietnam’s first utility-scale solar project which was a $30M bet built entirely on InfraCo’s own balance sheet before a single bank would commit.
He also shares some insights on where the region needs to go next as the next frontier of Infrastructure comes to light for Asia.
