PM Global Infrastructure

What PM Global Infrastructure does

PM Global Infrastructure, Inc. is a privately held, Washington, DC-based boutique consulting firm founded in 2001 by Per Ljung (Chairman & CEO) and Mihkel Sergo (Managing Director). The firm specializes in advisory services at the interface between the public and private sectors in infrastructure, serving governments, public-sector agencies, international development finance institutions, financial institutions, and private developers across more than 75 countries in South Asia, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and other emerging-market regions. Service lines span the full infrastructure lifecycle: project identification and structuring, policy reform and sector restructuring, legal and regulatory framework development, financing advisory (including partial-risk guarantees and BOT structuring), demand forecasting and pricing strategy, cost-benefit analysis, performance monitoring, and technology transfer.

The firm's underlying technology stack relies on conventional analytical tooling rather than a software product: Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Decision Support Systems (DSS), computerized demand forecasting, spreadsheet-based elasticity analysis relative to GDP, and proprietary cost-benefit and benchmarking frameworks for privatized utilities. Notably, the firm developed a GIS-based Long-Range Decision-Support System (LRDSS) for Indian Railways and Performance Measurement/Benchmarking systems for water and sewerage concessionaires.

Commercially, PM Global operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model with quote-based fees negotiated per engagement. The firm markets itself primarily through thought leadership—published reports, white papers, conference presentations, and institutional credibility stemming from its principals' former World Bank careers—and relies on referrals and institutional relationships with multilateral and bilateral agencies. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is privately held with no identified institutional investors or private equity backing and operates with 1–10 employees.
