Ausgrid has been operating for more than 100 years and has the largest electricity network in Australia. It supplies power to 1.7 million homes and businesses throughout Sydney, the Hunter and the Central Coast. The network is made up of more than 200 large electricity substations, 500,000 power poles, 30,000 small distribution substations and almost 50,000km of below and above ground electricity cables.

I have helped build, maintain and operate Australia’s biggest electricity network across our local neighbourhoods, regional centres and the countries largest and most important central business district. I have led our Incident response to the most devastating and destructive storm to hit our state in more than 50 years. I’m most proud of our safety record during these times and our people's customer focus. My role now is to lead and work with our business through one of its most challenging periods of change. As our Executive General Manager - Field Operations, I’m a part of our leadership team that is changing Ausgrid’s business model, creating more efficient operations and positioning us for future growth opportunities in a commercial environment.
