Fiona brings her experience and passion to drive sustainable development and circular economy practices in government and private sector projects.

She leads the Resource and Waste Management Team for Hong Kong and South East Asia, managing projects in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia at different stages of the materials value chain, from ‘end of first life’ through source separation and collection, through the ‘Rs’ of reuse, repurposing, recycling, recovery and finally disposal.
