Brad’s earlier career was in the Australian Public Service, working across a range of portfolios culminating in direct involvement at the senior executive level with the development, implementation and subsequent review and improvement of Australia’s national electricity and domestic natural gas markets. Brad graduated with a BA (Administration) from the University of Canberra and in 2009 studied the economics of climate change at Cambridge University as a British Council Chevening Fellow. In early 2018, Brad was appointed to the UK Government’s CCUS Council and is also a member of the Special Advisory Group to the Board of the Norwegian CCS Research Centre.
