— Stefanie Wilson, CEO, Luminair Consulting

“Lung has extensive knowledge of the creative and visitor economies and their role in placemaking and economic and urban revitalisation. I worked closely with Lung during his time at Creative Victoria and found him to be a strategic thinker who was able to engage on both big policy ideas as well as how to implement them at the ground level. Lung understands how Government works and is able to navigate between the public and private spheres to build positive partnerships through co-design. His collaborative approach also means he gets buy-in from stakeholders, even where they might seem worlds apart, to negotiate win-win outcomes. What I also enjoyed about working with Lung was his mix of imagination and pragmatism – a rare and valuable combination!”

— Joel Backwell, Regional Director Inner Metropolitan Melbourne, Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions

“Lung expertly helps teams negotiate complex policy and operating environments, he assists in identifying and leveraging resources and networks across Government and industry to address big, challenging issues. As the initial impacts of the pandemic reverberated through the economy, Lung helped my team establish clear governance processes, policy frameworks and tools to enable us to mobilise support for some of our State’s most significant and critically impacted businesses and institutions. His strategic mindset and ability to synthesise a myriad of issues and competing priorities into clear actions positioned my team to be effective in the face of the most unpredictable of times!”

— Helen Tobin-King, Director Commercial, Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions

“Lung brings well-honed project governance and management expertise and is adept at tackling complex strategic issues, operating and stakeholder environments. He has a strong understanding of the public policy environment, as well as the operating and commercial priorities of industry, and is able to negotiate the two to guide government decisions on industry support, investment and reform. I welcome the opportunity collaborate with Lung again.”
