Hamid Maani
Founder & Principal, MInstD
With nearly three decades of international executive experience across New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, North America, Africa, and the Middle East, Hamid has built his career at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, and capital, driving growth in complex, rapidly evolving markets.
Throughout his career, he has led the commercialisation of multi-billion-dollar digital infrastructure programmes, spanning hyperscale datacentres, submarine cable systems, AI infrastructure and international connectivity. His experience covers the full commercial lifecycle, from market creation and commercial strategy through customer acquisition, strategic partnerships, capital engagement, and long-term value creation.
Hamid’s experience goes well beyond the monetisation of infrastructure assets. He works with organisations to identify and unlock new opportunities, create markets, build the strategic ecosystems around them, and connect infrastructure with the customers, partners and capital required for success. Combining deep industry knowledge with an extensive international network, he helps turn complex infrastructure opportunities into commercially viable platforms positioned for sustainable, long-term growth.
