About Ken Jones

I’m a strategy and planning professional with over 10 years' experience, mostly spent in the infrastructure industry in Australia working within one of its largest and leading companies. I’m used to operating across multiple markets – such as construction, primary resources, telecommunications and services – as well as a range of business models and geographies. I relish challenges which require real insight to be derived from the complexity and noise which surrounds operating in today’s business environment.I also enjoy working with people who are passionate about what they do, and who approach challenges with creativity and an healthy optimism.I have an M.B.A from one of Australia’s leading business schools and a combined Civil Engineering and Surveying degree from Newcastle University.
