John Lee

Director

John is a corporate finance and real assets specialist with deep experience across infrastructure and real estate. Over more than a decade he has originated, led and executed transactions in excess of $2 billion, a capability formed inside three of Australia's most significant property and infrastructure groups: Lendlease, Meriton and John Holland. Working at the point where capital meets real assets, he has a sharp instinct for the value the market overlooks and the risks it underestimates.

At Ideia Partners, John advises corporations and investors on capital raising, M&A and complex transactions, with a particular focus on situations where development, private investment and government intersect. Because he has both structured deals and delivered the projects beneath them, he guides clients not just on how a transaction should work on paper, but on whether it can realistically be built and closed.

John holds degrees in Law and Commerce from the University of New South Wales and is a CFA charterholder.
