Bio
Eva Zhang
I worked alongside Deejan at the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) for several years. During our time as colleagues, Deejan was an empathetic, detailed and dedicated team member who the team could reliably depend for technical support and insight. He showed great determination to unpack challenges and hurdles facing his projects and the broader team, and worked diligently to pull together solutions. He has become a valuable source of expertise in sustainable buildings across the range of asset classes in development and in operation.

I had the pleasure of working with Deejan for 3-years at the Green Building Council of Australia and it was a pleasure. Deejan is a diligent, all-round team player who is extremely technical and has strong attention to detail. Deejan would always make an effort to find a solution to any problem, and sought input from all stakeholders affected. His abilities to engage with external stakeholders was great. He is also constantly eager to learn new skills and apply these in his role.
