London – 25th February 2026
Rock is pleased to announce the appointment of Miguel Parras as Partner and Head of New Sector Investments, situated in our London offices, strengthening its leadership team as the firm continues to expand its investment platform across essential infrastructure.
Miguel will lead the development of Rock’s strategy investing into new sectors, focusing on core transport infrastructure, energy transition and long-term contracted assets. His appointment supports Rock’s ambition to deepen institutional partnerships and broaden its capital deployment capabilities across international markets.
Miguel brings over 20 years’ experience in transport and infrastructure leadership. He most recently served as Group CEO of Go-Ahead, where he led one of the UK’s largest public transport operators through a period of strategic transformation and international growth. His experience spans regulated and concession-based markets, complex capital structures and long-term stakeholder partnerships across Europe and North America.
Previously, Miguel spent six years as Chief Investment Officer at Globalvia, where he led the group’s investment activities across its international transport infrastructure portfolio. His combined experience across asset ownership, capital allocation and operational delivery positions him uniquely to scale Rock’s New Sector Investments platform.
Mark Swindell, CEO of Rock, said:
“I met Miguel in 2011 when he was leading the successful bid team on the Mersey gateway bridge project and more recently in his role as Group CEO of Go-Ahead. He is someone with an entrepreneurial spirit and strong governance credentials. Miguel will add to our Rock Management team by bringing his rare combination of operational leadership and deep infrastructure expertise. His experience leading large, regulated businesses and working closely with long-term investors makes him ideally placed to build and scale our Alternative Investments platform. His appointment reflects Rock’s continued ambition and disciplined approach to growth.”
Miguel Parras said:
“I am delighted to join Rock at a time of significant opportunity for infrastructure and long-term capital. I have been particularly drawn to Rock’s values-driven culture and its clear vocation for long-term ownership. Infrastructure requires patient capital, disciplined stewardship and deep alignment between operators, investors and public stakeholders, and I look forward to building investment strategies that deliver resilient, sustainable value across markets.”
Miguel joins Rock at a time of structural reallocation of capital toward essential infrastructure, energy transition and long-duration contracted assets. As institutional investors seek scale, resilience and alignment, Rock aims to position itself at the forefront of this shift – building differentiated platforms that combine operational insight with disciplined capital deployment.
