Two of John Laing’s Asia Pacific team are moving to Capella Capital, two sources familiar with the situation said.

Infralogic reported on 16 April that John Laing Asia Pacific Co-head Andy Haining, Asset Management Director Alister Walker and Director Jarrod Woodward had left the business and that its Melbourne office is being shut down.

Haining and Woodward are moving to Capella Capital, while Walker is heading elsewhere, the sources said.

The appointments come after Japanese trading house Sojitz bought a majority stake in Sydney-based infrastructure developer, financial advisor and asset manager Capella Capital in June 2025 from real estate investor, developer and builder Lendlease.

Sojitz’s acquisition will see Capella expand into the Middle East, Central Asia, Europe and the US, according to Capella’s announcement at the time.

John Laing’s US-based global head of Americas and public-private partnerships (PPPs) Anthony Phillips will oversee investments in Asia Pacific as John Laing continues to have a Melbourne presence, where several of its greenfield and operational projects are located, as reported.

Melbourne-based Duncan Jewell is now sole head of John Laing Asia Pacific, and Sydney-based Investment Director David Beaton will become Asia Pacific Head of Investments. New York-based Scott Robinson will take up the role of head of acquisitions in the Americas, also as reported.

Capella Capital, which started in 2009, hired Radomir Jovanovic as an energy origination analyst in Melbourne this March.

Capella Capital did not respond to a request for comment. Alister Walker, Jarrod Woodward and Andy Haining declined to comment.
