“Nathan is a first-rate lawyer, communicator and leader. He cuts through to the heart of complex legal and economic issues, particularly when briefing senior management and boards. I've watched Nathan bring large and disparate business units together to build consensus, communication and results. He is particularly adept at getting lawyers, economists and managers to speak a common language, especially in relation to the regulation of Australia's energy sector. Nathan provides a direct, practical and thoughtful presence to manage and lead in challenging circumstances. ”

A hybrid approach to infrastructure delivery
OECD
This paper examines the approach being used to finance, construct and operate the Thames Tideway Tunnel. It sets out information about the tunnel itself, its motivations and how circumstances created the need for a hybrid approach. The paper summarises the hybrid approach and analyses the incentive features of that approach, including criticisms. It concludes with some observations about the hybrid approach’s value and the ability to apply it in other contexts, such as transport infrastructure.

Cooperative mobility systems and automated driving
OECD
This paper argues that government interventions will affect how automated vehicles will affect society. It considers potential approaches to regulating automated vehicles and their impacts, suggesting that many of the challenges they raise merely exacerbate existing issues. In turn, effectively addressing existing transport issues will also address many of the challenges that automated vehicles raise.
