As an advisor to governments and delivery bodies responsible for major rail projects, he focuses on helping clients to unlock the transformative potential of rail. Achieving this means taking a whole-life and ‘total system’ view of railways, understanding their potential within the wider transport and mobility landscape. Drawing on Arup’s global network of built environment experts, TC works with clients to shape and oversee delivery of human-centred travel for generations to come.

During his time as Projects Director at MTR Corporation, he was responsible for all new railway projects in Hong Kong, including the West Island line, South Island (East) line, Kwun Tong line extension, Shatin to Central Link, and high-speed rail projects. While at Bombardier Transportation in London as Head of Mass Transit in their systems division, he oversaw major projects including the London Underground Victoria line upgrade.
