Morris joins the specialist sustainable investment manager with more than 20 years of experience across infrastructure, private equity and real assets. He will serve on Impax’s management committee and work alongside Daniel von Preyss, co-head of private equity infrastructure.
He joins from UBS Asset Management, where he was head of infrastructure equity and led investments across the energy, digital and transport sectors in Europe and North America.

Before UBS, Morris was a managing director in the infrastructure and real assets business at Canada Pension Plan Investments, where he was responsible for originating, executing and managing investments across private and public markets.
Earlier in his career, he was a founding member of the RREEF Infrastructure European team, now part of DWS, helping to raise, invest and manage pan-European infrastructure funds.
At Impax, Morris will be supported by senior leaders Manish Sarwal, who has been appointed head of asset management, and Babaola Omiyale, managing director, within the private equity infrastructure team.
