Leading sustainability services for our Australasia region, Roger works with our markets and clients to facilitate positive long term social, environmental, economic, and financial outcomes. Roger works across our diverse skills and capabilities to help clients and communities transform practices, projects and behaviours to create a more sustainable and resilient future.

Roger is personally driven by impact and outcomes. Spending most of his career on large-scale planning and infrastructure projects, he has applied sustainability principles to projects, policies and programmes from a single building to an entire city.

His role facilitates and challenges clients and project teams to define preferable future states, navigate pathways and set systems and processes in place to advance. As a regional leader he seeks to enable our commitments to sustainability through both our influence and project agendas in working with markets and project teams to build capacity towards positive impact. 

Roger takes a holistic view of our services and capabilities to understand how we can work together to create powerful outcomes for our clients, the community, and the environment.

In its simplest form, he sees sustainability as framing outcomes in the context of design excellence in the medium and long term from a planet, community, economic and financial perspective.
