About Aesha Mehta
I’m an infrastructure strategist and Duke MBA candidate passionate about leveraging AI and financial strategy to drive smarter, fairer infrastructure investment.With nearly a decade of experience managing multi-billion-dollar transit and infrastructure projects across the U.S, I’ve worked at the intersection of cost estimation, capital planning, and risk modeling. I’ve advised public agencies on funding strategies, procurement, and life-cycle cost optimization—ensuring efficient, impactful infrastructure delivery.Now, through my MBA at Fuqua, I’m expanding my expertise in AI-driven decision making, valuation, and investment strategy. I believe the future of infrastructure lies in integrating technology and finance to:Predict performanceAllocate capital more equitablyDeliver infrastructure that is not only sustainable but also socially impactfulI serve as a reviewer and panelist for the Transportation Research Board (TRB), where I help shape national guidelines that improve safety, efficiency, and access in public infrastructure.My long-term vision is to lead or build an infrastructure-focused private equity platform or advisory practice that applies digital innovation to transform underserved communities—globally.Let’s connect if you’re working at the crossroads of AI, infrastructure, finance, or impact — or if you share the belief that infrastructure should be intelligent, inclusive, and future-ready.
