Morrison, the global infrastructure investment manager, today announced the establishment of its Global Advisory Group, appointing former United States Deputy Secretary of State Dr Kurt Campbell as the first member.
The Advisory Group has been formed to provide insight across geopolitics, macroeconomic policy and global markets. As its foundation member, Dr Campbell will provide advice and insights to Morrison and some of its key partners on geopolitical developments in key markets, supporting the firm’s growth in North America, Europe and Asia.
Dr Campbell brings decades of experience at the highest levels of international policy and diplomacy, with deep expertise in geopolitics and the intersection of strategic competition, technology and economic development.
Most recently, Dr Campbell served as United States Deputy Secretary of State. He was previously the White House Coordinator for the Indo‑Pacific, as well as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential architects of modern United States policy in the Indo‑Pacific and has worked closely with governments, businesses and investors across the United States, Asia, Europe and Australasia throughout his career.
Dr Campbell has a long-standing connection to Australia and New Zealand and has been recognised for his contribution to regional relationships, including being appointed an Honorary Officer of the Order of Australia and an Honorary Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
“Infrastructure is increasingly shaped by geopolitical forces, from the energy security and technology supply chains to capital flows and regulation,” said Dr Campbell.
“Morrison’s global footprint and long‑term investment approach position it well to navigate this environment, and I look forward to supporting the firm as it continues to build and invest across North America, Europe and Asia.”
“Global infrastructure investing increasingly sits at the intersection of capital, policy, technology and geopolitics,” said Paul Newfield, Chief Executive Officer of Morrison.
“Access to deep geopolitical expertise is critical to informed decision-making and long-term value creation as we operate globally. Kurt brings a unique global perspective and an exceptional understanding of how geopolitical change is shaping markets, and we are delighted to welcome him to our Advisory Group.”
Dr Kurt Campbell
