Our Team

Our multi-disciplinary leadership team brings together over 100 years of combined experience working effectively with Papua New Guinean communities and landowner businesses, ranging from SMEs to some of the nation’s largest companies. This extensive knowledge, skillset, and experience set us apart, but it is our shared community-first values and deep love for Papua New Guinea that truly unite us.  Our team’s collective expertise spans various sectors, allowing us to provide comprehensive support and guidance to the communities we serve. Each member brings a unique perspective, yet we all share a common commitment to empowering Papua New Guinean communities and fostering sustainable development.
