Insights & Case Studies
Digital infrastructure investment and strategy
Digital infrastructure investors and operators face increasingly complex decisions around demand, capacity, technology, regulation and long-term returns. Investment cases are being reassessed as markets evolve and established assumptions are challenged. Drawing on experience across network, tower and data-center asset finance, Guy offers insights on the industry’s direction and challenges, and can help organisations:
- Assess market themes and critique investment assumptions
- Evaluate and help navigate demand, capacity and potential asset redundancy
- Consider alternative funding and financial structures
- Identify and minimise risks to returns before significant capital is committed
- Develop clearer strategic perspectives during periods of structural change
Guy's background in telecoms equity research provides an independent, conviction-led perspective on operator strategies, network economics and the factors that influence long-term investment performance.

Metals reclamation and end-of-life value
End-of-life assets should not be treated simply as a disposal challenge. With the right strategy, they can become a source of recoverable value, improved visibility and new commercial opportunity.
Guy developed a leading bank’s urban mining proposition, focused on metals reclamation, into a business line generating several hundred million dollars. This experience provides a practical understanding of how reclamation opportunities can move from concept to a programmed, industrialised operating model. Guy can provide vision, leadership and practical support in designing and implementing long-term reclamation projects.
Guy advises asset owners and service providers on how to:
· Build scalable corporate e-waste and metals reclamation programmes
· Improve traceability and visibility across the asset lifecycle
· Capture greater financial value from retired or redundant assets
· Reduce operational and investment risk
· Embed end-of-life thinking into initial asset and investment decisions building circularity options
· Explore adjacent markets and new reclamation-led business models
