Sam is a creative thinker and a confident communicator. He has a strategic approach and is able to simultaneously hold many project variables and bring clarity; steering teams towards decision and action. He has a natural and inclusive leadership style that brings out the best in others while keeping complex projects on track and an eye on the needs of all wider stakeholders.
