Shaping strategy for complex real-asset and infrastructure decisions

With more than two decades of work across real estate development, infrastructure and funds management, Alan advises on complex programs where commercial structure, investment decisions and delivery outcomes must align. His experience spans Australia, the UK and Southeast Asia, supporting government, not-for-profit and private-sector leaders on initiatives shaped by long-term funding considerations, delivery risk and governance complexity.

At Cushman & Wakefield, Alan leads strategic advisory work across precincts, portfolios and large-scale development and infrastructure projects. While his background includes social and living-sector assets, he is particularly known for shaping public-private joint ventures and commercial approaches that unlock development value alongside major infrastructure investment, including rail, transit and intermodal projects.
