Project Management

I have project management experience in urban, country and remote environments and have managed construction and engineering projects around the world - including the building of houses, warehouses, roads, water treatment/sewerage plants and aviation infrastructure.

I have worked with large and diverse teams.

I am currently the Fund Manager and CEO of 'The Reducing Carbon Building Communities Fund'. 

In 2014/15, I was the Operations Manager for the 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' art installation at The Tower of London - commemorating the lives lost in World War One. This involved overseeing the installation of 888,246 ceramic and steel poppies (one for each life lost) and managing over 18,000 volunteers in a four month period.   

In 2013/14, I was responsible for overseeing the Macquarie Island Pest Eradication Project for the Australian Antarctic Division.
