She brings eight years of social infrastructure experience, gained as part of her funds management role with the AMP Capital Community Infrastructure Fund. 

In her previous role, Kareen was responsible for day-to-day fund management activities, management of the valuations for the fund’s 18 PPP assets and contributing to more than $870m of client fundraising activities. She played a key part in the multi-disciplinary team to optimize fund performance, as well as leading fund finance and tax strategies such as thin capitalisation and franking credits management.

Kareen loves travelling and has completed language courses and student exchanges in Argentina, China, France and Mexico. She regularly donates to conservation charities, discovered the marvels of modern cloth nappies when her son was born and enjoys going to festivals – with the aim of making it to Burning Man one day (much to the objection of her loving partner).
