About

Proud to have led and be leading Australian and international renewable energy and infrastructure organisations turning the great challenge of climate change into a great opportunity for green energy businesses.

A passionate leader with entrepreneurial vision and proven business discipline who has consistently delivered substantial shareholder value and business growth over his career across both business and large project life cycles.

For 18 years to July 2014 positioned Pacific Hydro as Australia's most successful and dynamic international clean energy utility in Australia, Asia and Latin America.

Until April 2019 led the Asia Pacific Power and Capital business for SNC-Lavalin based in Kuala Lumpur.

Until January 2022 led Fortescue's energy transformation across renewable energy and hydrogen as Director Energy, and now as Head of Projects at Pollination originating, developing and investing in Australia’s hard to abate sectors using Australia’s comparative advantage in large scale renewable energy production.
