In his eyes, this group of people simply represent, \u201cthe best energy team in the emerging markets.\u201d Mikael should know; since 1990 he has worked in the world of emerging markets energy and infrastructure. He joined Globeleq in 2002 and rejoined as CEO in 2009. He began his career at ABB Energy Ventures, the developer and investor of 36 power projects worldwide with a total value of US$15bn, where he held senior management positions as head of global development and investments, head of Asia, head of Europe, Middle East and Africa and chairman of the investment committee. He has been involved in power projects in China, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Morocco, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and Nicaragua. He believes that Actis has a unique and winning position in the marketplace because of its strong, long-term local presence, its global industry skills and its commitment to best practice via its dedicated Value Creation Group. This successful combination matters because energy projects contribute to the economic development of a country as well as generating high risk adjusted returns to shareholders. Mikael holds a master of science in industrial engineering and management from Linkoping Institute of Technology in Sweden and an MBA from University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow Mikael Karlsson: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/mikael-karlsson-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crunchbase<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mikael-karlsson-01409137\/?ppe=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linkedin<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Actis: <\/strong>Actis is a global growth markets investor in private equity, energy, infrastructure, and real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.act.is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/organization\/actis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crunchbase<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/actis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linkedin<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignfull is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n_______\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-6b5acbd44f358da9ffef9d994e7f62d5 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#0a2066;padding-top:2em;padding-right:2em;padding-bottom:2em;padding-left:2em\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 154 152'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/crunchbase-production\/image\/upload\/c_thumb,h_256,w_256,f_auto,g_faces,z_0.7,q_auto:eco,dpr_1\/mwtqtg47hhcu4wbep1y2\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-14850\" width=\"154\" height=\"152\"\/><\/figure><\/div><h2 class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"single\" style=\"font-size:40px\"><strong>James Connor<\/strong><\/h2><p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" style=\"line-height:1.5\"><strong>Partner of Orrick, Herrington &#038;
