Meet Your Facilitator
As a chartered engineer with a master's degree in innovation business administration, my career has taken me to some of the most exciting places on earth, from the United Kingdom to Singapore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and South Africa. During my journey, I've played multiple roles in the water utility industry, including engineer, consultant, and client, which have provided me with unique insights into the workings of this vital sector.
One of the most striking observations I've made during my time in this field is that individuals and teams often know precisely what problems they face and the solutions they require. Yet, despite their knowledge and expertise, the daunting task of garnering support from a diverse range of stakeholders can lead to projects being cancelled, halted, or scaled back, resulting in a lack of large-scale deployment or the necessary pace required to make a significant impact. To overcome these challenges, I've dedicated my career to exploring innovative techniques that can help water utilities succeed. I strive to make the water market segment the most innovative in the world by bringing together the brightest minds and the latest techniques.
