About

With over a decade of experience in renewable energy, I lead Renew Horizon, a consultancy dedicated to supporting Australian renewable energy developers in de-risking early-stage projects. As a PRINCE2-certified project manager, I specialize in site feasibility, constraints analysis, and risk mitigation, with a focus on guiding projects from concept through development. My career spans roles in both the public and private sectors in renewable energy project development (sized 1 - 50MW) and energy efficiency (programs valued up to $220m AUD) in the US, UK and Australia. Committed to enabling the transition to net-zero, I aim to leverage my expertise in sustainable energy to empower developers and ensure successful project outcomes.
