About
Beginning my career as a mechanical and electrical technician in Australia’s Army/RAAF, I continued my education in engineering and business. For the last 20 years, I have led operations and deal-making in the power generation sectors of Australia, NZ, SEA and Africa. Today, I lead a team of experienced professionals in the firming of renewable energy and transitioning Australia’s heavy vehicle transport sector from a diesel to a zero carbon emissions hydrogen economy.
