Cundall is pleased to share the appointment of Matt Carlisle as Sustainability Associate Director to lead the service and drive the business’ net zero commitment in the region.
With a strong background in energy efficiency and a Master of Science, specialising in Sustainable Energy Systems, Matt’s wealth of knowledge on this subject will enhance Cundall’s sustainability offerings to deliver innovative and reliable solutions to enable our clients to achieve their sustainable ambitions.
Before joining Cundall, Matt was an Associate Director at XCO2 in Singapore, for which he helped to establish the office and developed the business in the market. During his time in Singapore, he has successfully delivered numerous energy and sustainability strategy projects in the Asia-Pacific hospitality sector, including Genting Secret Garden masterplan in China, Inspire Entertainment Resort in South Korea, and Rah Falhu Hurraa in Maldives. In addition, he has also previously worked in the United Kingdom as a Project Manager to deliver some large-scale district energy and photovoltaic farm projects.
Matt’s expertise spans across decarbonisation strategy, circular economy planning, passive and low carbon design, embodied carbon reduction, as well as district energy connection system design. With over 15 years of experience in delivering projects in Southeast Asia, the UK, and Australia, Matt has a holistic understanding of the sustainability needs and challenges in the Asia market. By leveraging his international experiences and practices, he has the knowledge to formulate effective design solutions that are tailored to Asia clients.
In his new role, Matt will be responsible for leading the sustainability team in Asia and working closely with our clients and stakeholders to develop and implement sustainable designs and strategies. He will also be working with our clients and our staff internally to implement Cundall’s Zero Carbon Design 2030 initiative and continuously drive the global business commitment in the region to create a more sustainable built environment.
Oliver Grimaldi, APAC Sustainability Lead, commented on the new appointment, “We couldn’t be more delighted to welcome Matt and further strengthen our team in Asia. His experience is going to bring in new innovative approaches to develop sustainable ideas for our clients and help them achieve their sustainability goals and beyond.”
Marcus Kan, Singapore office Managing Director said: “We are excited to have Matt joining the team. His experience in both energy and sustainable design will be very beneficial to our clients not only for the new build constructions but also because there is currently a strong demand in implementing sustainability strategies for existing buildings and the urge to decarbonise these assets in order to achieve the clients’ net zero targets. We are confident that Matt’s expertise will play a pivotal role to delivering Cundall’s vision through our projects and influence the wider construction industry.”
