Andrew Way has enjoyed a varied career path in a multitude of organization structures and a diversity of cultures, providing an interesting insight into organizational management and personnel motivation.

Starting life in Britain’s elite Parachute Regiment he developed martial skills working alongside some of the World’s best soldiers in operations across four continents. Following injury Mr. Way entered the corporate world where he embarked on a career in banking, working for Credit Agricole in Hong Kong - then the largest non- Japanese bank in the world. Mr. Way identified an opportunity to help improve the expectation gap for successful public / private partnerships (PPPs) and in 1993 established Development Forum Ltd in Hong Kong as a consultancy to bring together governments and major multinational corporations to identify ways to improve opportunities for private investment in infrastructure development in emerging markets.

Mr. Way created The World Infrastructure Forum which was hosted by the Indonesian Government and opened by President Suharto in Jakarta in 1993, and again by the Indian Government in 1996. The World Infrastructure Forum became the World’s largest inter-government meeting outside the United Nations. In recognition of its importance, in 1996 The World Infrastructure Forum was held in conjunction with the United Nations Ministerial Conference on Infrastructure.

 Mr. Way was appointed an Expert Group Advisor to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission Asia Pacific (UNESCAP) and was a guest speaker at the United Nations University in Tokyo and at the APEC Finance Ministers Conference in Santiago Chile. He has run Industry Missions in India, Vietnam, Thailand, The Philippines and Australia helping to design processes and initiatives to improve cooperation.

Mr. Way launched the Asia Infrastructure Development Alliance (AIDA) as a strategic think-tank between the public and private sectors to prepare markets for privatization and private investment in infrastructure. This initiative still operates today as a ESCAP body under the United Nations.

In 1999, having sold his business to The Economist Group, Mr. Way moved to Sydney in semi-retirement and today operates a finance business and, in-keeping with his interest in closing the gap between the public and private sectors, is the Chairman of the Short-Term & Bridging Finance Association of Australia.
