Blackstone has strengthened its global infra practice with the hire of James Burke, its third senior addition in recent months. Burke, the former co-head of InfraBridge, joins Blackstone in a London-based managing director role focused on infrastructure investments. The move underscores Blackstone’s ongoing effort to deepen its expertise and talent base in the infrastructure sector, particularly in Europe.

Burke brings extensive experience in infrastructure deal origination and execution, having played a key role at InfraBridge, a firm known for its focus on European infrastructure assets. His appointment follows two other senior hires by Blackstone in the infrastructure division over the past several months, signaling a strategic push to expand capabilities in a competitive market for infrastructure talent. The London role will allow Burke to lead regional initiatives and support Blackstone’s broader global infrastructure strategy, which includes investments in energy, transport, and social infrastructure across developed markets.
