Management

MQA is managed by MQA management, which comprises a team of executives employed by the Macquarie Group. The MQA management team includes senior executives from the former Macquarie Infrastructure Group and therefore provides continuity of management, knowledge and experience.

The key executives of MQA are:

Peter Trent

Chief Executive Officer

Peter Trent

Peter is currently a Division Director with Macquarie, having held senior advisory and fund management roles for Macquarie in both Europe and in Australia over the past ten years.

Peter has been actively involved in the development, financing, management and operation of toll roads in Australia, Europe and North America over the past 16 years. Prior to joining Macquarie Infrastructure Group in 2005, Peter was head of European toll roads advisory within the Macquarie Group in London U.K., where he was actively involved in the bidding and development of toll roads across Europe on behalf of European concessionaires. He was also the lead adviser to MIG for its highly successful €816m acquisition of a 40% interest in the Spanish concessions group Cintra.

With over 25 years of infrastructure and capital markets experience covering a broad range of major investment transactions, principally within the transportation sectors, Peter is well qualified to lead MQA through a necessary period of restructure and refinance over the medium term.

Prior to joining Macquarie, Peter was an Executive Vice President with Bankers Trust Australia.
