AMP Capital appoints investment director for Community Infrastructure Fund

AMP Capital has tapped Deloitte Australia's Odette Linnett as its new investment director for the Community Infrastructure Fund.

She's joined by current AMP Capital staffer Mathew Pirotta and New Zealand-based Carolyn van Leuven managing CommIF.

"These three new additions to CommIF will further enhance the strong and experienced AMP Capital team managing the fund. I'm delighted to welcome Odette and Carolyn to CommIF and congratulate Mathew on his promotion and move into CommIF," said AMP Capital infrastructure equity co-head Michael Bessell. "We now have 18 professionals dedicated to CommIF, supported by a number of other team members across the business, and the fund continues to perform strongly for our investors. The new appointments demonstrate that AMP Capital continues to attract highly-experienced and talented people."

Linnett comes from Deloitte Australia where she was an investment director and director of corporate finance. She started her career as a graduate with the Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance.

In her new role Linnett will have asset management responsibility for Victorian Schools, the Darwin Convention Centre, and NSW Schools II.
