Chris brings over 20 years’ experience as a trusted problem solver on the delivery of infrastructure and building projects across Australia and New Zealand. As our Associate Director and Health Sector Lead in New Zealand, Chris shapes strategy and delivers practical solutions for clients based on his hands-on delivery expertise.

Chris specialises in the planning and delivery of major health infrastructure, with strength in stakeholder engagement, delivery frameworks, and navigating complex operating environments.
