The Founders
Palladio Kommunal GmbH is an owner-managed company founded by Timo Poppe and Palladio GmbH. The company's purpose is to support municipalities and municipal companies in financing infrastructure projects both individually and in a demand-oriented manner.
As founding partners of Palladio GmbH, Dr. Bernd Kreuter and Michael Rieder have many years of extensive experience in advising German institutional clients, e.g. pension funds and insurance companies, in all aspects regarding institutional asset management with a focus on infrastructure investments. Most recently, as a board member of a large energy supplier, Timo Poppe was responsible for infrastructure projects in the fields of energy, telecommunications, and water for many years.
Partnership-based approach to improving infrastructure
Palladio Kommunal GmbH follows a partnership and alignment of interests approach. We want to contribute expertise and long-term oriented capital of German institutional clients in order to realize upcoming infrastructure investments (e.g. in the areas of fiber optic expansion, heat transition, classic energy network business, or public transport) together with municipalities and municipal companies.
The founders are members and active supporters of the Initiative Deutsche Infrastruktur e.V.. They are convinced that German competitiveness can and should be improved by increasing investments in essential infrastructure.
