Contruent, a leading SaaS company specializing in lifecycle cost management solutions that enable Owners and Engineering & Construction firms to deliver megaprojects with greater precision and speed, announced a significant addition to its leadership team focused on the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Bringing over three decades of industry experience, Neil Burlison has been appointed Senior Advisor to help drive growth across the APAC region.
“The addition of Neil Burlison to our APAC team reflects our commitment to investing in this critical and rapidly evolving region,” said Ryan Kubacki, CEO of Contruent. “APAC is undergoing transformative growth, particularly in energy and hydropower. Neil’s background leading major energy infrastructure initiatives makes him the ideal fit to strengthen our in-house project controls expertise. His leadership will help our customers manage increasingly complex projects with greater precision and speed as we continue to expand our presence in APAC’s most critical sectors.”
Neil Burlison brings extensive expertise in the global energy and infrastructure sectors, having held senior leadership roles across major international and Australian organizations. Most recently, he served as CFO at Inland Rail and previously as Head of Finance at Origin Energy, one of Australia’s leading energy companies, as well as an international role at BP. Over the course of his career, he has played a key role in the delivery of complex, capital-intensive programs, including large-scale energy projects. Burlison holds an MBA and is a Fellow of the Chartered Management Accountants (FCMA).
“Our customers are tackling complex challenges that demand deep expertise, and Neil is exactly the kind of expert they need,” said Rob Malkin, APAC Vice President and General Manager at Contruent. “His experience in the energy and infrastructure sectors makes him a valuable partner on the region’s most critical projects, and I look forward to seeing his impact across the APAC market.”
The appointment follows the recent announcement of Rob Malkin as General Manager of APAC and comes at a time of rapid infrastructure expansion in the region. Contruent’s ongoing investment reflects its growing footprint across energy, particularly in hydropower, where the company is already supporting some of the region’s most ambitious projects.
