During this time I have served on a wide range of boards and councils and dealt at the highest levels with subject matter ranging from taxation reform and climate change to e-commerce in the mining industry, health reform and national defense policy. In the last three years I have taken on responsibility for the Tasmanian State Service, run the Tasmanian Health and Human Services Department for 3 months, negotiated a $275 million dollar forest agreement for the State Government, overseen preparation of the previous Tasmanian Government's White Paper on engagement in the Asian century, and coordinated a visit to Tasmania by the President of China. Specialties: Climate change including emissions trading, national health policy, aboriginal affairs, marine resource management and research, government and community relations, industry policy and economic development, team leadership, engagement in Asian markets, governance.
