Alec Tang

As a Chartered Environmentalist and Fellow of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, Alec has focused his career on addressing the breadth of sustainability challenges and opportunities that are increasingly shaping our communities, society and economy. This has included a range of leadership positions in academia, business and the public sector, alongside an active involvement in professional institutions, industry associations and networking groups.

Through these roles, Alec has become well-practised in the identification of strategic and operational sustainability risks as well as the development and delivery of solutions to meet these challenges. Alec has successfully built and led numerous diverse, multi-disciplinary teams through a focus on common values, aligned purpose and trust. His work has ranged from the development of high-level regional strategies on climate change, liveability and wellbeing, incorporating broad stakeholder and community engagement, through to the design and delivery of specific interventions and the creation of impact measures to gauge their success.

Alec’s diverse background means that he can couple an in-depth knowledge of organisational sustainability risks with an understanding of the operational contexts and behaviours that are present within complex organisations. In addition to these broad strategic and technical insights, his strengths include the core communication and interpersonal skills required to effectively engage and collaborate with the internal and external stakeholders that are critical to delivering long term transformation sustainability change.
