Hans brings more than 45 years of senior leadership experience across Defence, Government, and complex technology environments, helping CEOs and Directors make high impact decisions with confidence and control.

Having held executive roles with Leidos and Lockheed Martin IS&GS, including Vice President and Corporate Lead for AUKUS, Hans has operated at the point where strategy, government priorities, and commercial reality meet. He understands how major decisions are assessed, how Defence and Government buy, and what separates credible contenders from those that fall short.

Hans has led large scale market expansion, major bid and capture efforts, and long term growth strategies across Australia and the Asia Pacific. His experience helps leaders avoid costly missteps, sharpen their competitive position, and engage government stakeholders with authority and credibility.

With twenty years of service in the Royal Australian Navy, including operational deployment, Hans brings rare insight into Defence culture, risk tolerance, and leadership under pressure. Combined with board level commercial judgement, he challenges assumptions, stress tests strategy, and brings disciplined thinking to complex decisions.

For CEOs and Directors, engaging Hans means stronger strategic decisions under uncertainty; reduced risk in Defence and Government engagements; clearer positioning in high-value bids and partnerships and Board ready thinking grounded in real executive accountability.

At Tekin, Hans is not an academic or theorist. He is a trusted advisor who brings clarity, discipline, and confidence to decisions that matter, helping leaders move forward decisively and build outcomes that stand up to scrutiny.
