I am the Executive Director for Economy and the Environment at Powys County Council. Having originally trained as a Chartered Mineral Surveyor, I have worked in both the public and private sector in a number of varied roles. 

This has provided for over 30 years’ worth of professional experience. Most notable prior roles undertaken include as the Director of Highways and Transportation at Rhondda Cynon Taff and as Head of Service - Highways, Transportation and Recycling at Powys CC.

I have also undertaken roles as a Director of the Capita Glamorgan JV (RCTCBC/Kier), Managing Director of Amgen Cymru and I am currently a Director of the Heart of Wales Property Services a JV (PCC/Kier).

I have a Chartered Waste Manager and have a BSc in Estate Management and an MBA from Cardiff Business School. In my spare time I am a keen football/rugby fan, cyclist, runner, hill and dog walker.
