ii. Clyde Rogers, General Manager, AucklandPlus
Greg led a team of international economic development practitioners and policy advisors to New Zealand to review the performance of
Auckland, New Zealand as a world class city-region. That review was part of a larger project encompassing four key workstreams: skills and
education, business capability and innovation, infrastructure and the opportunities major events such as Rugby World Cup 2011 bring. During
the week Greg and the team engaged Maori and pacific communities, public authorities, the private sector and academia. His ability to
connect with those distinct audiences has left a lasting impression with those engaged. Greg has an ability to articulate the complex in
language understood by all and enrich dialogues by providing insights and learning drawn from the breath of his experiences around the
globe. The Auckland project was significantly enhanced as a result of Greg's contribution.
