- Deep knowledge and experience within the rail industry, with a strong understanding of its operational and stakeholder environment.

- Demonstrated success leading multidisciplinary teams across technology, operations, regulatory, infrastructure and commercial environments.
- Strong strategic and commercial acumen, with expertise in governance, financial and resource management, risk and complex program interdependencies.
- Highly effective at influencing senior government, industry and executive stakeholders and navigating competing priorities.
