PLN principal John Ridgway said “We are delighted to welcome Daniel to our growing team at a time where there is unprecedented interest and opportunity in the PNG market. We are very lucky to have someone with such a strong PNG family heritage and such sound local business acumen, and I believe Daniel will prove an invaluable asset to our growing Asia-Pacific presence.”
