Lynette solves complex business challenges through strategic analytical thinking.

She works with clients to understand business problems and identify value levers and constraints.

She is interested in implementing planning solutions to optimise across value chains, geographic locations and multiple stakeholder groups; and developing techno-economic models to optimally allocate capital and support decision-making to execute business strategies.
