How long have you been in the industry and what drew you to a career in construction?

What has been your biggest career achievement so far?

Being senior executive including Chief Financial Officer of a large organisation before I was 30 years old was a significant achievement. During my time in the public sector I managed massive innovation, transformation and leading edge project.
