Emil W. Henry, Jr., Founder, CEO and CIO of Tiger Infrastructure Partners, is a recognized leader and innovator in private equity and public policy. Building on a decades-long track record in high-profile government and private-sector roles, Emil launched Tiger in 2010 to provide transformational growth capital to enable the infrastructure of tomorrow. Since then, Tiger Infrastructure and its partners have deployed billions of dollars to develop, construct and operate new and next generation infrastructure across the Digital Infrastructure, Energy Transition and Transportation sectors in North America and Europe. Under Emil’s leadership, Tiger Infrastructure has emerged as a leading innovator in the infrastructure investment market. In 2005, Emil was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. In this capacity, he oversaw the Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection, where he identified the vast unmet need for private investment to create and enhance America’s infrastructure. To capitalize on this market opportunity, he joined Lehman Brothers upon leaving government. As Global Head of Lehman’s infrastructure private equity business, he assembled the core team that is today responsible for managing Tiger Infrastructure’s funds. At the U.S. Treasury, Emil was one of the first senior U.S. officials to identify how a systemic crisis might unfold. He subsequently led Treasury’s efforts to establish emergency response protocols in the event of a financial crisis. His foresight and leadership were recognized with the Alexander Hamilton Award, Treasury’s highest honor. From 1990 until he entered government in 2005, Emil was a Partner and Managing Director with Gleacher Partners. As Chairman of Asset Management, he led the firm’s expansion into a sophisticated array of innovative alternative investments. Previously, he was a member of Morgan Stanley’s private equity group. Emil holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Economics, cum laude, from Yale University. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He is also a recognized author and has written extensively on key investment and financial policy issues in the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, National Review, Politico and the Washington Post.
