US-based Hamilton Lane, a global private markets investment management firm, has expanded its Infrastrastructure and Real Assets Investment team; it has appointment three new senior team members based in North America and Europe to support the growth of the firm's $111.7 billion infrastructure platform.

Based in the firm's Toronto office, Tara Speers is joining as a managing director on the product team, where she is responsible for capital formation for the infrastructure platform. Speers, who brings more than two decades of experience in the infrastructure sector, is also responsible for client and product management, including investor relations, fundraising and portfolio construction. Prior to joining Hamilton Lane, she was a managing director at Fengate, where she dealt with capital formation and investor relations, the firm said in a statement.

Lucas May, a principal on the Infrastructure & Real Assets Investment team, based in the firm's headquarters in Conshohocken, is responsible for originating, evaluating and executing direct, secondary and primary fund investment opportunities. Previously, May was a vice president at Vauban Infrastructure Partners, where he executed and managed investments in middle market infrastructure businesses.

In addition, Colin Mooney is joining as a vice president on the Infrastructure & Real Assets Investment team in London, where he will be sourcing, underwriting and monitoring primary, co-investment and secondary transactions across the firm's commingled funds and managed accounts. Prior to joining Hamilton Lane, Mooney was a vice president at Jefferies Private Capital Advisory.

“They bring deep, complementary expertise that we expect will help us continue to scale our growing infrastructure platform and deliver for our clients around the world,” Brent Burnett, global head of Infrastructure and Real Assets, said. “Both individual and institutional investors have been clear that they see infrastructure as an important and growing part of their portfolio, and they want experienced partners to help them invest effectively.”

The firm has also recently hired two senior associates based in Toronto and Oregon, bringing the total team headcount to 27 across product and investments.

Hamilton Lane, which has been an active investor within the infrastructure and real assets space for more than 26 years, serves institutional and private wealth clients from around the world. The firm has realised $49.4 billion in deal flow and deployed more than $1.2 billion across discretionary transactions in the first half of 2026.

Hamilton Lane employs about 820 professionals operating in offices throughout North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, with about $1.1 trillion in assets under management and supervision.
