About Alain Rauscher

Alain Rauscher is the co-founder of Antin Infrastructure Partners, one of Europe’s leading infrastructure investment firms. He currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, placing him at the center of the firm’s strategic direction and long-term development. Antin was founded in Paris in 2007 by Alain Rauscher and Mark Crosbie with the goal of building an independent private equity platform focused on infrastructure assets. Over time, the firm expanded its footprint across Europe and North America and developed a diversified investment platform spanning energy and environment, digital infrastructure, transportation, and social infrastructure. Before founding Antin, Alain Rauscher built a career in investment banking. He held various positions at BNP Paribas Corporate Finance, Lazard Frères, and Lehman Brothers in Paris, London, and New York. Antin’s corporate filings also state that he was Head of Oil, Gas and Mining investment banking at BNP Paribas Corporate Finance before launching Antin. That background gave him deep expertise in infrastructure-related sectors, complex M&A transactions, and the financing of real assets. Under his leadership, Antin has completed a series of high-profile investments and strategic milestones, including growth in telecom towers, energy services, utilities, and social infrastructure. The firm has also scaled through successive fundraises, broadened its international team, and listed on the stock exchange in 2021. Alain Rauscher is closely associated with Antin’s investment culture, which is built around partnership, accountability, discipline, and entrepreneurship. His leadership style combines capital allocation discipline with active value creation, aiming to support portfolio-company growth, improve operational performance, and maintain alignment with investors over the long term.
