LGI Team

Mild-mannered MD by day, masked eco-friendly vigilante by night, I strive for truth, justice and greater efficiency from dump gas operations. I can leap over piles of waste, design pipe layouts, estimate gas yields and sniff out a deal from miles away with my waste ray vision. Oh hang on, I am just a lucky sparky-come engineer, surrounded by an excellent team.

As an avid outdoorsman and engineer I’m always looking for new and creative ways to address the impacts civilisation has on our environment. At LGI I’m able to contribute my knowledge and experience towards developing innovative renewable energy, low carbon solutions across Australia. Enjoying today, working on a better tomorrow.

With three grown children, I want to ensure they have a planet as beautiful as it was when I was starting out. LGI gives me a great opportunity to put 30 years of commercial management experience towards preserving that beautiful planet. I’m also an energy nerd, happy to discuss the electricity industry for hours if you let me. LinkedIn profile

Since the age of 19, I have dedicated my life to saving the world, one landfill at a time. Several countries, degrees, languages, and rubbish dumps later, I joined LGI in 2012 to lead the company’s carbon vision and promote earnest social and environmental ethics. I continue to pursue global salvation in my professional and personal life and hope to one day achieve fluency in Australian vernacular. LinkedIn profile

A passionate and pragmatic environmentalist, excited by implementing commercial and innovative solutions to improve our community and climate – at work and at home. The opportunities are endless. I love the outdoors, great food, playing with my kids and lively banter with interesting people, even better if it’s together!
LinkedIn profile

I enjoy two important roles at LGI, Financial Controller and head of LGI’s fine tea appreciation society. I manage all our day to day financial matters for the entire business, supervise accountancy and work closely with our CFO. I also take great pride in fostering the ritual of bringing our team together to reflect and chat over a good cup of tea.

Previously as an Environmental Consultant for major infrastructure projects, I’ve seen first hand how ineffective OHS practices can create resistance and frustration, instead of helping improve workplace safety. At LGI, I passionately use my experience to apply a practical approach to deliver meaningful and sustainable improvements in OHS.

LinkedIn Profile

Having worked in a range of operational contexts to date, primarily in manufacturing and alternative fuels, what I’ve enjoyed most is bringing together high-performing teams to deliver positive social and environmental outcomes. Joining LGI in 2023 was an exciting next step on the journey and it has been a fun ride sharing in the optimism of the incredible team. In my own time I enjoy travelling to new places and discovering the hospitality, culture and music that comes with them.

A decade ago, my environmental studies led me to resource recovery and renewables and I’ve not looked back. At LGI I team up with like-minded, passionate, specialists at the cutting edge of the industry to create positive change. I spend my free time in nature, which is all the more reason to help manage our impact on climate change and nature.
