Ruijs was promoted to managing director, and has been at First Reserve since 2011. He has worked in the contracted midstream, power and energy sectors, the firm said. Previously, he was an investment director and partner at NIBC Infrastructure Partners, the firm noted.

They exemplify the strong work ethic and dedication to delivering long-term, steady returns to our limited partners that is the hallmark of our energy infrastructure team," added Mark Florian, head of infrastructure funds.
