In his dual role, Rose will lead QII’s legal and commercial functions, supporting the company’s expansion across complex energy and infrastructure initiatives. His responsibilities include structuring strategic partnerships, advancing capital formation and executing high-impact transactions that support QII’s growth across integrated power and infrastructure platforms. He will report directly to Chad Williams, chairman and CEO of QII.

“This business rewards operators—the doers,” said Williams. “We’re building real assets in real markets, and that demands leaders who are comfortable making decisions and advancing complex projects. Alex brings a long track record of operating real estate businesses and delivering critical infrastructure, and we’re excited to have his leadership as we continue to scale QII.”

Rose brings a proven track record across energy, infrastructure and real assets. A former partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, he advised on major transactions spanning mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, recapitalizations and strategic investments.

Most recently, Rose served as general counsel of Ashford Inc. and its affiliated public companies, where he oversaw legal, governance and compliance across multiple operating businesses. He worked closely with boards and institutional partners to scale teams, manage growth and navigate key inflection points.

“Complex projects succeed when the commercial, legal and operational pieces move together,” Rose said. “QII has built a platform designed to create that alignment early, reduce uncertainty and support consistent execution. That’s a foundation I’m excited to help strengthen as the company scales.”

The appointment reflects QII’s continued investment in operational readiness as it builds industrialized infrastructure nationwide. With its platform strategy and execution teams already underway, QII is positioned to deliver infrastructure capacity where and when it is needed most.

About QII

Founded in 2025 by Quality Growth Companies (QGC), QII is building a new model for how large-scale infrastructure is planned, delivered and executed.

QII operates at the intersection of energy and modern infrastructure systems, bringing together land strategy, power access, platform design and experienced execution teams into a single, integrated operating model. The result is a faster, more predictable path from development to delivery for partners who require certainty at scale.

Rather than treating infrastructure as a series of disconnected handoffs, QII applies an industrialized approach across the full project lifecycle, from site development and power readiness through construction, commissioning and long-term operations. This platform-based model supports consistent delivery, operational flexibility and disciplined execution as project needs evolve.

QII is focused on reducing development risk, accelerating timelines and delivering infrastructure capacity where and when it’s needed most. Every project is guided by a simple principle: infrastructure should be built responsibly, perform reliably and strengthen the communities it serves.

People. Forward.

ISTANBUL (AP) — A Turkish court on Thursday issued a ruling that effectively removed the head of the country’s main opposition party by annulling a 2023 congress that elected him.

The move deals a serious blow to the beleaguered Republican People’s Party, or CHP, as it struggles under waves of legal cases targeting its members and elected officials.

An appeals court in Turkey’s capital Ankara declared the CHP congress that picked Ozgur Ozel as chairman to be null, ordering that he should be replaced by his predecessor, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

Last year, a lower court ruled against claims of irregularities and misconduct surrounding Ozel’s election but Thursday’s decision overturned the original verdict.

The ruling led to frantic meetings at the CHP’s Ankara headquarters, further threatening the opposition’s chances of unseating President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after more than two decades in office. Large crowds gathered outside the office block and police erected barriers.

The next presidential election is due in 2028 but Erdogan can call for an early vote. His main challenger, the CHP mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu, has been imprisoned since March last year and is currently on trial on corruption charges.

The appeals court's decision suspends Ozel and members of the party’s executive board from their duties. They will be “provisionally” replaced by Kilicdaroglu and those who held office before the November 2023 congress.

In comments to broadcaster TV100, Kilicdaroglu called for party members to remain calm. “Our party is a very large party and it will solve its own problems internally,” he said. The 77-year-old was removed following a 13-year tenure as leader, during which the CHP failed to win any national elections.

Ozel, meanwhile, attempted to rally supporters.

“I am not promising you a path to power through a rose garden,” he posted on X following the ruling. “I am promising you the ability to endure suffering but never surrender. I am promising you honor, dignity, courage and struggle!”

The CHP is expected to challenge Thursday’s ruling in the Supreme Court in the coming days.

Justice Minister Akin Gurlek, who oversaw several cases against the CHP in his former role as Istanbul’s chief prosecutor, described the court’s ruling as one that “reinforces our citizens’ trust in democracy.”

Many observers have said that the legal cases against the CHP — mostly centered on corruption allegations — are politically motivated and aimed at neutralizing the party ahead of the next election. The government, however, insists that Turkey’s courts are impartial and act independently of political pressure.

Erdogan has ruled Turkey, first as prime minister and then as president, since 2003. His electoral record suffered a serious blow in 2019 when the CHP seized control of several major cities in local elections. In Istanbul, Imamoglu emerged as a popular and charismatic figure that many felt could successfully topple Erdogan.
