KordaMentha today announced the appointment of Jon Chadwick and Guy Chandler as Partners in its Public Sector team, significantly expanding the firm’s Energy capability at a time of accelerating transformation across Australia’s energy system.
Jon and Guy are trusted energy specialists with deep global and local experience guiding organisations through strategic, commercial, and operational challenges.
