What I do

My in-depth and up-to-date understanding of climate change policy and emissions trading design, enables me to interpret and understand the related risks and opportunities for individual companies and organisations looking to buy carbon credits. I provide sellers with the best possible opportunity to get value from their abated emissions, and help buyers to purchase the right number of emission units at the right price.

My expertise

I started out working in process engineering in the international energy sector, and first became involved with climate change issues in 1999. Between 2001 and 2003 I project managed the first ever NZ Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement for The New Zealand Refining Company (NZRC), before establishing New Zealand’s leading climate change consulting firm, Frazer Lindstrom Ltd.

What I enjoy about what I do

I enjoy resolving strategic problems and negotiating on behalf of my clients. I seek to identify common ground and achieve the best deal for both parties. I also work hard to establish solid, long-term business relationships with my clients.

What I enjoy outside of work

I love spending time with my five year old daughter. I also enjoy travelling, mountaineering and cycling but don’t get out nearly as much as I would like to! I am also a keen photographer and a motor racing enthusiast.

Examples of Climate Change work

  • I regularly advise major industry players on their climate change strategies and emissions trading design parameters. I enjoy the close relationships I have with the clients and how we work together to find the most suitable and individually tailored strategies.
  • I developed and implemented NZRC's strategy in response to the Government’s new climate change policy and tightening fuel specifications. This work was successfully completed in April 2003, with the signing of the 1st ever NZ Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement (NGA) and the approval of the NZ$180 million NZ Future Fuels Project. I really enjoyed working at the Government/Business interface and the challenge of working in un-chartered territory with incredibly complex technical and policy issues. It was fantastic to deliver the NGA on time, and with successful outcomes for both the Government and NZRC.
  • I project managed and co-authored the Business Energy Outlook 2050 publication released in September 2005. I really enjoyed being involved in compiling such a timely document, which succinctly covers a huge amount of information relating to what is probably one of the most important issues for New Zealand presently.
  • I am frequently asked to speak at conferences on climate change issues. I enjoy the challenge of taking an audience through what are often complex and multi-facetted policy issues.
