As a trusted advisor with substantial experience in stakeholder engagement and delivering solution-focused strategic outcomes, I look forward to making a significant impact not only across the APAC region, but more broadly across GHD,” Crawford said.

Crawford operates from Sydney. She was recently listed among Australasian Lawyer’s In-house Leaders for 2022.
