Hans is an international management consultant with 40 years construction execution planning, risk analysis and performance management on large energy, process and mining projects.

Hans has had corporate roles and periods with major consultants such as Booz.Allen & Hamilton working in UK, France, Sweden, Algeria, Canada and USA yet enjoys the challenges and immediate response project work provides.

He also assists in bringing about a cultural shift in the execution of site works.
