Amir Sharifi

Chief Investment Officer

I’ve spent 23 years in the energy and investment space, the last 18 with Ardian where I had a lead role in developing our developments in the renewable energy space, ultimately supporting the build-out of 7.5GW platform. Altogether, I’ve sat on the board of half a dozen or so portfolio companies in the green energy and midstream sectors.

Before joining Ardian, I was a strategy consultant with Roland Berger focusing on energy and private equity clients. 

As lead for Energy Transition at Ardian, I decided in 2020 to set up our internal hydrogen working group, with the conviction that hydrogen was an unavoidable ingredient to the world’s climate action agenda. This naturally got me to Ardian’s front line in the creation of Hy24. 

As CIO of Hy24, I will have a global oversight on portfolio construction and adequacy of investments to Hy24 funds’ investment mandate. Since 2022, I am also sitting at the board of Enagas Renovable, a pioneering European green hydrogen and biomethane developer.
