HKA names Mike Pitt and Phil Kienstra as Co-Leads of APAC Advisory business

Global consulting firm HKA has named two Sydney-based leaders as Co-Leads of its Advisory business across the Asia Pacific region.

HKA’s Advisory business advises clients in the construction and infrastructure sector with planning and running their capital projects, across the entire project lifecycle: from strategic planning and commercial development to delivery and capability building.

The Advisory arm also houses the firm’s technology services, including the implementation of PMWeb [HKA is a leading partner of the vendor] and own solutions that support capital works projects, programmes, and portfolios.

In their joint role, Mike Pitt and Phil Kienstra will lead Advisory teams across eight offices in APAC, including three in Australia. Together, they have over 40 years of experience in the construction and infrastructure scene, gained in the United Kingdom and Australia. Both have been with HKA for over six years.

“We are thrilled to have Mike and Phil stepping into this important leadership role for our Advisory business in APAC. Their extensive experience and proven track record in project delivery and performance make them ideal candidates to drive our Advisory business forward,” said Benjamin Highfield, CEO for Asia Pacific at HKA.

Commenting on their appointments, the new practice leaders said:

Pitt: “It’s a privilege to be appointed co-lead of the APAC Advisory business at HKA. I look forward to collaborating with our team to drive innovation and deliver exceptional results for our clients across the region.”

Kienstra: “I am excited to take on this challenge and work alongside Mike and our talented team to deliver high-quality advisory services to our clients in APAC. Together, we will continue to provide solutions across the project lifecycle to help our clients achieve their project goals.”
