Our History

Tikehau Star Infra, previously known as Star America, was founded in 2011 by Bill Marino and Christophe Petit. Their vision was to combine their respective construction and finance advisory backgrounds to create a U.S.-based infrastructure manager focused on U.S. greenfield assets helping to rebuild America’s infrastructure.

Their knowledge and understanding of project development, construction risk and asset management developed over decades of relevant experiences, working closely with many of the top national and international infrastructure firms and their public sector clients on complex and transformative projects.  These strong existing relationships allow Tikehau Star Infra to assemble and participate on project delivery teams with many best-in-class partners in the various sectors of focus.
