The one stand out capability of Kurt is his stakeholder management. He thinks laterally through problems to solve especially in difficult political landscapes that must be navigated.
Kurt is overall a team player and will always be loyal, friendly and honest. I would work alongside Kurt any day."

A little more about me
My number one favourite thing in the world is to 'unplug' and relax on Stradbroke Island in my home country of Australia. Along with that, I enjoy getting into the kitchen to cook up something delicious, finding a new city to travel to and having a great cup of coffee with a pastry or two.
