Over 20 years, I have delivered more than $100 million in complex construction, refurbishment, and critical infrastructure projects across commercial, industrial, defence, and secure environments. I have scaled a business from the ground up to $10 million in revenue without increasing headcount, built server rooms and communications infrastructure under the most exacting compliance standards, and operated in environments where failure is not an option.
The next wave of opportunity in critical infrastructure is not only in new builds. Assets constructed to last 25 years are already meeting technology cycles that move in three to five. The result is an accelerating demand for refurbishment, repurposing, and lifecycle optimisation of mission-critical environments. This is where I have spent my career: delivering complex upgrades within live, high-risk, compliance-driven facilities without disrupting the operations they support.
What sets me apart is not the technical record alone. As a 10-year member of the Entrepreneurs' Organisation, an active investor, and participant in founders networks who have navigated acquisitions, exits, and hyperscale growth, I bring a perspective that most construction leaders do not have: a deep understanding of the commercial drivers behind the infrastructure I build.
I inherited a $1 million business operating on reactive, ad-hoc delivery. I designed and implemented ISO-accredited systems, structured procurement, and performance management frameworks that scaled revenue to $10 million without adding headcount or increasing overhead, during a period of sustained construction cost inflation.
When a key second-in-command was lost suddenly, I did not wait for a replacement. I assumed full operational control of multiple concurrent projects remotely across time zones. I restructured delivery teams within 48 hours, implemented daily coordination cycles, and engaged directly with every client to maintain confidence. No projects were lost. All were delivered.
Mid-project on a $1.5 million build, I identified a major mechanical infrastructure gap that the design consultants had not caught. Rather than escalating and waiting, I led the redesign of a $450,000 mechanical system in-house, delivering a value-engineered solution that improved energy efficiency and compliance while absorbing the cost and programme impact without client disruption.
No off-the-shelf software could integrate project controls, financial reporting, and operational management to the standard the business required. I built and deployed every core system in-house: project controls, CRM, financial reporting, and currently a fully integrated ERP platform using AI-assisted development. Each system built on the same principle: consolidate complexity into something any team member can use.
I built the business with no inherited team. I designed L&D frameworks with defined career pathways and competency-based progression, introduced top-grading recruitment to raise hiring quality, and established performance management rhythms that improved accountability and retention. Team members who started in junior roles progressed to managing complex projects independently.
I have maintained delivery standards across every project regardless of circumstances. That includes a site that suffered fire damage mid-construction (works continued, the building was recovered and delivered), a 24-hour emergency services facility that could not tolerate a single hour of downtime, and defence-grade environments where compliance failure was not an option.
Level 4 security office and communications environment. Fire suppression, controlled mechanical systems, strict compliance protocols. Earned the trust of a defence client under demanding conditions; awarded further work.
Multi-phase delivery. Self-managed comms room, 24-hour emergency call centre with critical MEP systems. Phased programme across an occupied building. Zero disruption to 24-hour operations.
4,500 sqm, major mechanical redesign. Original single-phase plan was unworkable for live operations. Replanned into four stages, maintained full occupancy throughout.
5,000+ sqm. Structural demolition, fire damage recovery during live works, facade, civil, services, multi-tenancy conversion. Delivered despite conditions that would have justified stopping work.
Brownfield remediation (asbestos), MEP/HVAC compliance overlay, server room reconversion. Multiple facilities, repeat client.
Secure environments to international physical and IT security standards. Each consulate had different compliance frameworks; adapted delivery accordingly.
Technology environments for founder-led software businesses during hyperscale growth, including Readify (now Telstra Purple). Worked directly with founders on workplace strategy.
Identified missed infrastructure gap on a $1.5M build. Led in-house redesign. Value-engineered solution improved efficiency and compliance. Absorbed impact without programme delay.
I have delivered projects for Tier 1 to Tier 3 real estate investment trusts, syndicated landlords, private owners, ASX-listed companies, and international businesses.
Founded and scaled a commercial construction and refurbishment business. Full design and construction risk ownership across all MEP systems for projects spanning commercial, industrial, education, defence, and secure environments. $100 million+ in delivered project value. Head contract administration for Victorian Government and international government clients.
Delivered multi-million-dollar commercial fit-out and building refurbishment projects including STA Travel Victorian HQ and Heinz Melbourne HQ. Led pre-construction design, built integrated comms rooms and IT infrastructure, coordinated complex MEP installations within occupied buildings. Both projects required managing stakeholder expectations across competing priorities with incomplete design documentation.
Architectural practice across three countries. Domestic, residential, industrial, and mixed-use projects. Depth in refurbishment and heritage-listed buildings. This background provides design literacy that informs technical decision-making on complex infrastructure projects.
I believe that leadership carries a responsibility beyond commercial outcomes. The work I do in the community is grounded in a long-held conviction that investing in people, particularly young people, is the most meaningful contribution I can make.
Three years of advisory support for a youth development organisation, focused on property strategy and sustaining youth centre operations. This is an extension of a commitment that began in 2017, when I directed resources from our business's sustainable strip-out initiative toward youth community programmes.
Youth mentoring at secondary school level through Salesian College, and career mentoring for university students at RMIT. Both programmes reflect a personal investment in helping the next generation find their direction and build confidence.
Active leadership within the Bayside business community, supporting entrepreneurs from early-stage through to experienced operators. This programme has contributed to community development initiatives in Australia and youth and community programmes in India.
Developing a programme that applies high-performance principles to help people build self-belief and personal motivation. The approach draws on sport, personal development, and the discipline of pursuing a standard, designed for people who may not identify as entrepreneurs but who are driven to improve.
10-year tenured member. Forum Moderator, Mentor, and social group Chair. Trusted advisory roles with founders navigating acquisitions, exits, and hyperscale growth.
Private portfolio across commercial property and early-stage businesses, including angel investments (US and Australia) and a trustee position. Direct exposure to M&A, due diligence, and capital strategy.
Personally led selection, deployment, and integration of every core business system across Agero Group. Currently deploying a fully integrated ERP built using Claude Code and AI-assisted development. Every system built on the same philosophy: extreme context, delivered through absolute simplicity.
ISO accredited with operational systems in place. Victorian Government Construction Supply Register accredited. Commercial Building Licence. Full professional insurance coverage held.
Native: English and Spanish. Limited conversational: German.
Australian Citizen. Spanish Citizen (abroad).
Readify (Telstra Purple), Whispir, Nintex, Invetech. Close working relationships with founders through hyperscale growth, workplace strategy, and acquisition cycles.
Family is at the centre of everything. I am a father of two and deeply invested in my children, my partner, and the wider family who have made this journey possible. I am grateful for their continuing support through the challenges and demands of building and leading a business in Melbourne over the past several years.
Beyond family, I am drawn to the things that demand both discipline and appreciation: architectural design and heritage, music, and sport. I train and have competed in Olympic weightlifting at amateur level, not to claim any great standing, but to show my children that every dream is possible with the application of vision, continual focus, and sacrifice.
If you are looking for someone who understands both the build and the business behind it, I am available to discuss how I can contribute.
