Management style has already changed sometime in August when PD Ports was thrown on the bbq, only now it is confirmed ....... :)
TWO senior management partners plus a chief Financial Officer.
Jeff Blidner and Sam Pollock put this together since the period BAM took on Multiplex, and lost out on PD Ports to BBI.
From Lateline interview 2007 ALI MOORE: Of course Brookfield's asset portfolio includes everything from transmission lines to hydro power station and timber plantations. In the future you flagged interests in ports and pipelines and toll roads, have you got your eye on anything else in Australia?
SAM POLLOCK: We are looking at a number of potential opportunities in the infrastructure area. I don't think I can speculate on what they are but they're in the sectors that you just described.
