Robert McGregor
Head of Project Management Office Singapore & Managing Director Philippines @ Gurīn Energy
About
I most recently served as the Head of the Project Management Office (PMO), Asia and Managing Director, Philippines at Gurīn Energy. In my PMO role, I led a dynamic team in driving operational excellence and monitoring Greenfield project execution. In my Philippines role, I focused on sourcing Greenfield renewable energy opportunities - leading efforts to secure substantial land for solar and BESS projects. And, given my background in investment banking, private equity, and my nine years at the Aboitiz Group, I was also responsible for any acquisitions and divestitures.My core competencies include deep knowledge of the Asian power sector (since 1997), particular knowledge of the Philippine market (I am a Permanent Resident), business development, investment analysis, project management, risk assessment, and strategic planning. I am known for my ability to coordinate and lead cross-functional teams to achieve measurable success in the clean energy sector.

Experience

Head of Project Management Office Singapore & Managing Director Philippines
Singapore and Manila
As Head of the Project Management Office in Singapore, I led a team which created Project Implementation Plans, Project Risk Registers, and Project KPIs. We worked with Microsoft Project, SharePoint, and we tested Procore. This team worked with Corporate Finance to maintain topical financial models and also prepared Board and Executive Committee updates. As Managing Director of the Philippines, my focus was on developing a pipeline of new project opportunities. In a short time, more than 600ha of leased land was secured for new onshore solar and BESS projects. I also oversaw any acquisitions or divestitures, pan-Asia. Backed by over 25 years of leadership experience in Asian investment and energy markets, including key roles at Aboitiz Equity Ventures, AboitizPower, Actis, and various investment banks, I have a wealth of market experience and an extensive network of commercial, technical, and financial contacts throughout the Asian region.
