• Shape strategy and investment decisions for government and private sector clients through evidence-based business cases, modelling and economic analysis.
• Engage with senior stakeholders—including government agencies, infrastructure bodies and industry leaders—to influence policy and decision-making.
• Coach and develop high-performing teams, building capability in economic modelling, planning and strategic advisory.
