My role has global exposure and I serve as Modulaire Group’s APAC M&A and corporate development manager responsible for identifying potential M&A opportunities in Asia Pacific that align with long-term corporate strategy, developing business cases and presentations for strategic initiatives, and driving day-to-day execution of acquisitions from valuation and synergy analysis to due diligence and contract negotiations.

I oversaw the creation of a JV to establish our manufacture and hire business in China and have overseen Ausco’s growth in the NSW modular education market, leading the acquisition of NET Modular. I was key in facilitating TDR Capital’s sale of parent company Modulaire Group to Brookfield Asset Management and managed the APAC elements of a major global capital raise/bond tap. I am proud to have established the company’s APAC ESG function and team and helped Modulaire achieve its 5-year global GHG emissions targets 3 years early, negotiating the industry’s first power purchasing agreement to purchase large-scale energy generation certificates of Origin Energy’s Stockyard Hill Wind Farm.
