Suzanne Szczetnikowicz

Suzanne Szczetnikowicz is a Counsel in the Energy team at King & Spalding, where she advises investors, sponsors and lenders in the energy and infrastructure sector at all levels of the capital structure and at different stages of the investment life cycle. Her work runs from joint ventures and equity investments through to greenfield project financing, senior, mezzanine and holdco debt, refinancings, distressed scenarios and broader strategic investment structuring. Starting her career predominantly working in the oil and gas sector, more recently the largest proportion of her time has been spent advising in the power and renewables, energy transition and infrastructure sectors in the MENA region. In those markets, she has advised on complex, first of kind projects in the petrochemical, renewables and clean fuels sector, working with and across from a range of financing institutions, whether private equity, industry sponsors, export credit agency, development finance institutions or commercial banks.

Suzanne also brings an investor's perspective to that advisory work, having spent almost three years in-house at OMERS. There she worked with the GreenTech, Life Sciences and European Credit teams. Her work there ranged from late stage growth investments across the capital stack in battery and clean-technology businesses, to royalty and synthetic royalty financings for the life sciences team, strategic portfolio structuring and syndicated lending. Having sat on both sides of the table, she sees how capital can move across equity, credit and structured products, which is the territory this panel will explore.
