Additional appointments announced by the firm included Giulia Siccardo as Managing Director and Regional Leader of Quinbrook for North America, and Kathryn Lin as Senior Director and leader of Quinbrook’s digital infrastructure strategies.
Quinbrook said that the new leadership moves were made to strengthen its executive leadership and support ongoing growth.
Restall joined Quinbrook at the firm’s founding in 2015, and has most recently been serving as the firm’s Australian Regional Leader, and serves as a member of the Global Investment Committee and as the Chair of the Global Procurement Committee. In his new role, he will assume overall leadership responsibility for the management of all Quinbrook regional teams based in North America, Europe and Australia.
Siccardo is joining Quinbrook after serving as the first ever Director of Manufacturing & Energy Supply Chains at the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, D.C. Lin joined Quinbrook in 2023, and has been serving as a Director in the firm’s North American investment team.
David Scaysbrook, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Quinbrook, said:
“As Quinbrook grows, we have been working to establish a leadership structure that further empowers our people to lead our firm into its second decade and beyond. As Co-Founders, Rory and I are proud of what we’ve built together since establishing the firm in 2015. We believe this new leadership structure equips Quinbrook with exceptionally talented leaders as we continue our journey as a value-add specialist in the energy transition.”
