Jaroslava joined Actis in 2022 to lead Actis’ Energy Infrastructure investment activity in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Since joining, she has led investments into Rezolv Energy, a renewable energy platform operating in Romania and Bulgaria aiming to deliver 2GW of clean power and become the first IPP in the region, and Connectis Tower, the first independent telecom tower company operating in the Balkans.

As one of the founding partners of Allianz Capital Partners she was instrumental to the build-out of the direct infrastructure business at Allianz Capital Partners, a business which she helped grow to €11 billion AUM.
In this past role she led landmark transactions across the transport, energy and utility sectors, predominantly in Central Europe, the UK and Iberia. These investments include investments in Chicago Parking Meters, Net4Gas and Gasnet (respectively the gas transmission and distribution networks in the Czech Republic), the London super sewer Thames Tideway, the UK gas distribution business Cadent Gas, UK’s Affinity Water, investments in transport such as rolling stock (Porterbrook) and digital sector (partnerships with Telefonica in Germany and Altice in France), and investments in social infrastructure concessions. Jaroslava was also a member of the Allianz Capital Partners investment committees and led the raise of the Allianz Co-invest Fund 1 together with her partners.
Jaroslava has a degree in law from the University of Cambridge.
