Since joining the Queensland Reconstruction Authority in 2012, Jimmy has held a number of executive roles, coordinating recovery and resilience building efforts following significant disaster events. Jimmy coordinates the implementation of the Queensland Strategy for Disaster Resilience, putting Queensland at the leading edge of recovery and resilience policy nationally and internationally. Jimmy is a passionate advocate for resilient investment, having led the development and implementation of a range of Betterment programs in response to major disaster events. He also led the development of Queensland’s Voluntary Home Buy Back Program, a nation leading resilience building initiative, which repurposed our highest risk flood prone land. Jimmy has been instrumental in advancing efforts to deepen our understanding of the value derived from resilience investments, particularly by recognising intangible benefits that extend beyond simply avoided reconstruction costs. Jimmy is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and the University of Queensland.
