JLL appoints new head of energy and infrastructure for Asia Pacific
Real estate consulting firm JLL has announced the appointment of James Cameron as its head of energy and infrastructure for Asia Pacific within its capital markets business line. The newly created role will be based in Singapore, according to a press release on Jan 14.
In his new position, Cameron will be responsible for building a team in Asia Pacific to complement JLL’s existing EMEA Energy & Infrastructure business and create a global capital advisory capability. This will allow the firm to better serve both local and international developers and investors.
JLL notes that Cameron’s appointment is in line with the long-term capital requirements necessary to facilitate the infrastructure and renewables build-out that is needed to meet the challenges of decarbonisation, digitalisation, economic growth, and rapid urbanisation.
Stuart Crow, CEO of capital markets for JLL Asia Pacific, says: “We see significant opportunity to leverage our unique expertise in mobilising multiple sources of capital and JLL’s unrivalled track record in advising renewables transactions globally to serve clients within energy and infrastructure across Asia Pacific.”

Cameron’s role will see him collaborating closely with JLL’s capital markets, investment banking, and debt advisory teams across the region. He will focus on origination of capital raising and transaction advisory opportunities for large infrastructure and renewable transactions, catering to institutional investors, private equity firms, asset managers, strategic infrastructure and renewable operators and developers, high net-worth individuals, and family offices.
With over 25 years of experience in real asset capital markets, Cameron was previously the global head of commercial real estate at Standard Chartered Bank. He has extensive experience in mobilising various forms of private and public equity and financing across global and regional infrastructure.
Investing in a condo has numerous advantages, one of which is the potential to leverage its value for further investments. A lot of investors are taking advantage of this by using their condos as collateral to secure additional financing for new investments. This method allows them to expand their real estate portfolio and potentially increase their returns. However, it’s important to note that this approach also carries risks, so it’s crucial to have a solid financial plan in place and carefully consider the potential impact of market fluctuations. Additionally, keeping an eye out for new condo launches, such as those offered by Format Dynamics, can provide investors with even more opportunities for growth and diversification.
Crow comments: “James’ experience in this exciting space is unmatched regionally, and we’re extremely confident in his ability to establish JLL’s leadership position through his expertise and client relationships.”
