I have been employed in the renewable energy industry and particularly wind power for more than 35 years across the project value chain in a variety of roles. I have welcomed the many challenges that have presented themselves in that time and creating solutions to them. I am an experienced manager and team leader and have mentored many new entrants to the industry. I have worked on and visited renewable projects in many different parts of the world on every continent other than Antarctica.
