Bahrain-based Infracorp has appointed Talal Al Mahroos as its new Chief Executive Officer, tasking him with leading the company's strategic expansion initiatives and driving its next phase of growth.

Announcing the appointment on November 1, the company said Al Mahroos brings extensive experience across banking, finance and strategic investments.

His previous leadership roles include Acting Chief Executive Officer of GFH Properties and Chief of Development Infrastructure Investments at GFH Financial Group.

The appointment aligns with Infracorp's strategy to expand its infrastructure investment portfolio, pursue new growth opportunities and generate long-term value through sustainable development projects, the company said.

Infracorp specialises in infrastructure investments and sustainability development, with a capital base of $1.2 billion and a portfolio of nearly $3 billion in infrastructure assets.

Its holdings include a 250 million-square-foot land bank across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), North Africa and South Asia, earmarked for sustainable economic and social infrastructure development.

The company's investment strategy focuses on developing communities, logistics, technologies supporting sustainability and renewable energy, as well as social infrastructure assets across the education and healthcare sectors.

Its sustainability strategy also incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations, with an emphasis on managing risks and identifying opportunities to generate long-term investor returns.

Al Mahroos will lead the company's next phase of expansion as it looks to strengthen its position in the regional infrastructure and sustainable investment landscape.
