Since joining Aquila Capital´s hydropower team in June 2014, Oldrik Verloop has been involved in the due diligence and acquisition trajectories of investment opportunities in Sweden, Norway, Italy and Switzerland. The decision of Europe´s largest pension fund asset manager to develop their hydropower investment portfolio with Aquila Capital, enabled the team to expand the number of operational hydropower plants under management from 8 in 2013 to over 100 in 2015, mainly through the acquisition of the two largest Norwegian developers of small-scale hydropower. As co-head of the hydro team, he further initiated bi-lateral dialogues with European utilities for investment cases to form long-term partnerships with Aquila Capital´s institutional investor vehicles. Before joining Aquila Capital, Verloop was with the asset management division of Wegelin & Co in Switzerland. He previously worked at Shell Gas & Power in the Strategy and Planning division, and led a commodity trading company in West-Africa prior to that. He holds an LL.M. from Leiden University, the Netherlands, and an MBA from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
