He has managed engineering design teams on deep metro stations, earthworks, and retaining wall design, and has delivered award-winning research into sustainable infrastructure solutions. His practical knowledge of major project delivery, combined with a proven ability to translate complex technical requirements into robust, evidence-based business cases, ensures that infrastructure programmes are set up for success from the outset.
His board-level experience includes serving as Chair (from October 2025) and previously Senior Vice Chair of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) London Regional Committee, where he has championed professional development, resilience, and wellbeing initiatives.
