Samir M. Suleymanov is an Independent Board Member of ALT Infrastructure SA. An Azerbaijani-American executive based in Washington, D.C. and Abu Dhabi, Samir spent more than two decades at the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, holding senior strategy, operations, and advisory roles across both institutions.

Samir began his career at the World Bank Group in 1996 as a Project Analyst in the Sustainable Development Sector Unit for Europe and Central Asia. Over the following decade he managed project financing and knowledge work across natural resource and land management, environmental finance, oil and gas, infrastructure finance, and rural and microfinance, completing transactions in most countries of the region. During this period he helped mainstream carbon finance into the Bank’s business line, including the structuring of the region’s first Community Carbon Fund project.

He went on to develop new financial and knowledge products at the Bank, including the launch of what is now widely used as Reimbursable Advisory Services, and helped introduce a new municipal lending facility (with the IFC) providing financing to subnational entities and utilities without sovereign guarantees. As Strategy Director in the Office of the Managing Director and CAO, he led preparation of the “Forward Look: 2030 Vision for the World Bank Group”, a shareholder-endorsed strategic exercise that set the Bank’s development agenda. He was also responsible for the Agile Bank institutional reform program.

Samir later served as Deputy to the Chief Executive Officer of the World Bank Group, working directly with Kristalina Georgieva (then CEO of the World Bank, now Managing Director of the IMF), leading initiatives critical to operationalizing the institution’s strategic priorities. During this period the institution secured a $13 billion capital increase, the largest in the Bank’s history. He concluded his Bank tenure as Head of the Strategic Initiatives Unit, supporting the CEO in promoting innovation and collaboration with shareholder governments and external partners.

After leaving the World Bank, Samir served as Senior Advisor to Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, advising on corporate strategy, climate finance, and digital currency and payment systems. He played a leading role in the structuring of ALTÉRRA, the $30 billion catalytic climate fund launched at COP28 in the United Arab Emirates and now the world’s largest private climate investment vehicle, with a target of mobilizing $250 billion of capital toward climate action by 2030. Samir has long advised on the creation of special facilities including sovereign wealth funds, blended finance vehicles, and dedicated investment platforms such as the Women Entrepreneurship Fund.

Samir is currently a Director of Africa50, the pan-African infrastructure investment platform sponsored by the African Development Bank and 33 African shareholder states, and Chairman of the For Azerbaijan foundation. Originally from Beylagan, Azerbaijan.

Jonas Lauren Norr is a Co-Founder of ALT Infrastructure SA, where he focuses on the development, financing, and commercialization of next-generation digital infrastructure, with an emphasis on compute, power, advanced connectivity, and frontier technology platforms. His work draws on more than two decades of experience across real assets, deep technology, digital infrastructure, fund formation, and institutional capital strategy.

Mr. Norr began his investment career in 2003 with the launch of Ethos Investments, where he supported acquisitions, capital structuring, and project development initiatives in United States growth markets, including transactions involving significant real asset bases. During this period, he also worked on renewable energy, environmental finance, carbon credit, and waste-to-energy initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean. He later joined the general partnership of Peterson Partners on its real assets platform, contributing to investment sourcing, underwriting, and portfolio oversight.

Mr. Norr initiated work with SRI International (formerly the Stanford Research Institute) in 2009, developing early exposure to research-driven commercialization and frontier technology opportunities. In 2016, this relationship evolved into a formal strategic partnership through Gravity Ranch Ventures, an early-stage deep technology investment platform he founded. Under this partnership, Gravity Ranch was granted a first right to invest in SRI’s commercial opportunities, giving it direct access to a research institution with 1,500 researchers and over 4,000 patents, whose spin-offs have included Siri (acquired by Apple) and Intuitive Surgical. Through this work, Mr. Norr reviewed dozens of deep technology companies and intellectual property strategies across artificial intelligence, advanced computing, robotics, cybersecurity, sensing, communications, space-related technologies, and other applied research domains.

Mr. Norr subsequently expanded his focus into digital assets, regulated market infrastructure, and compute-adjacent infrastructure. As managing partner of a digital asset investment management platform, he oversaw portfolio construction, liquidity and risk management, custody and counterparty oversight, investor reporting, and institutional operating controls. He continued this work through Lac Leman Capital and Lac Leman Groupe, a geography-agnostic multi-family investment platform with offices in Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Most recently, Mr. Norr has been involved in the development of large-scale high-performance computing infrastructure, including work on a 335 MW HPC campus in Texas designed to support energy-intensive compute operations including AI training workloads. His role has included commercial strategy, capital formation, power and infrastructure planning, counterparty engagement, and the structuring of development pathways for compute-intensive facilities.

At ALT Infrastructure, Jonas applies this experience to the creation of scalable digital infrastructure platforms designed to serve the next generation of compute and AI-driven demand.

Amir Damerdji is a Co-Founder of ALT Infrastructure SA, where he leads capital formation. A private markets investor, frameworks and systems builder, and global connector, he has nearly two decades of experience growing organizations and investing on behalf of institutional and private capital.

Amir began his career in M&A advisory in London and Paris before joining the founding team of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar. At QIA, he helped grow the firm’s AUM 10× from $30bn to $300bn by sourcing, evaluating, negotiating, and structuring 45+ transactions across private equity, growth technology, real estate, and infrastructure. Notable investments completed during his tenure included Heathrow Airport and Fairmont Raffles Hotels. The investment frameworks and processes he built at QIA continue to be used by the firm today.

After QIA, and shortly after graduating from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Amir joined Alvarium Investments, a global multi-family office, to help build its private markets investing capabilities in the United States out of the New York office. He attracted talent and formed a team to deploy over $300m in growth technology and innovation companies, spearheading notable investments for institutional investors (including the $1bn venture arm of Qatar Free Zones), family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. He was made Partner in three years, founded the firm’s Growth Investment Program, and served on the Private Assets Investment Committee and Digital Asset Committee. The firm went public in January 2023 and merged with Tiedemann to form AlTi Tiedemann Global, a $60bn AUM wealth management platform.

Amir most recently left AlTi to grow his own family office, Damerdji Holding LLC, a private investment and strategic advisory firm focused on identifying and building catalytic opportunities across venture, private equity, and alternative asset classes. Damerdji Holding concentrates on early-stage and growth-stage technology investments across AI infrastructure, FinTech, CleanTech, and the Digital Economy, supporting ventures, private investors, and institutions with its investing and deal capabilities.

In his ALT Infrastructure SA role, Amir leads investor relationships, fundraising strategy, and the capital formation roadmap across institutional, family-office, and sovereign capital channels.
