What does your day-to-day look like at OWC?
Juggling with time differences! I usually start my day meeting with clients and partners to share about the industry and identify their needs.
I often dedicate my afternoons to drafting or managing technical due diligences, feasibility studies and other studies in ANZ and the wider Asia-Pacific region. I then end the day sharing insights with my colleagues in Europe to keep up with innovations across our multiple business lines and learn from our global challenges.
Can you tell us something exciting that you’re working on right now?
I’m currently working on a technical due diligence of an offshore wind project in Europe and providing advisory on a large infrastructure project in Australia.
What inspired you to join your industry?
The rapid pace of innovation in the energy sector, from renewable energy technologies to energy storage solutions to cope with intermittency inspired me to join this industry.
I was captivated by how these advancements are driving solutions to global challenges, and by the opportunity to help clients navigate and adapt to these transformative changes.
What does the future look like in energy and oceans in Australia?
With 85% of the population living on the coastline and a strong push for sustainability and environmental protection, Australia’s future of energy and oceans is certainly bright.
Why should people join us for our Australian breakfast briefing in London?
Sharing thoughts! We organized this event to share about challenges and opportunities in renewable energy sectors in Australia to initiate conversations on what European markets could learn and share.
What do you enjoy most about working as part of OWC Australia?
Connecting the dots and finding out that I have new colleagues expert in domains I don’t know much about!
