Following a successful consultancy role managing M&A due diligence in Europe and Australia, Neil has ridden the roller-coaster of the Australian renewable sector since 2003 with projects across all states – which included securing planning approval for the Crookwell 2 wind farm (now built and operating), which was the first large wind farm proposed in NSW under the MRET.

Neil was recently appointed Chief Project Development Officer at Ratch Australia Corporation, where he is responsible for building and managing a project team to deliver over $1B of investment in RAC’s portfolio of wind, solar hybrid and BESS development projects.

In his 10+ years of leadership roles at RAC, Neil’s responsibilities and achievements span the full range of project development, grid connection and construction management activities across successful delivery of RAC’s most recent renewable assets in Australia, such as the Mt Emerald & Collector wind farms and the Collinsville solar farm
