Reporting to the editor of InfraAmericas, and in their absence the Managing Editor of InframationGroup, the funds and M&A correspondent of InfraAmericas is a senior reporting role within the InfraAmericas editorial team with some editing responsibilities.
The role is dedicated to making sure that InfraAmericas is first with off diary scoops on mergers and acquisitions within the North American infrastructure sector as well as the financing related to these deals and the activities of infrastructure funds in the market.
