Professional services company GHD has appointed Patricia Tirados as Director, Energy & Resources, expanding its leadership capability in response to growing demand across key infrastructure sectors in the Philippines.
In her expanded role, Tirados will lead multidisciplinary teams supporting clients throughout the project lifecycle, from planning and design through project delivery. Her appointment reflects the increasing need for integrated approaches to energy and resources projects as clients navigate changing infrastructure investment and sustainability priorities.
Tirados brings almost two decades of experience spanning resource development, power generation and electricity supply, working with leading local and international organizations. Her multidisciplinary background includes client leadership, regulatory, project management, technical, commercial and digital disciplines, enabling her to help clients solve complex challenges and create lasting value for communities.
Tirados also serves as Energy Co-Chair of the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines and as a Board Trustee of the PhilHydro Association. In these roles, she helps shape the industry, support policy development, and forge cross-sector and regional partnerships that advance economic growth and industry progress.
“The energy and resources sector stands at a defining moment that will shape the future for decades to come. Asia is at the heart of this transformation, accounting for more than half of the world’s energy consumption and leading the clean energy manufacturing and critical minerals supply chain. Within this dynamic region, the Philippines plays a pivotal role, home to some of the world’s largest critical mineral reserves, rising energy demand, and growing appetite for energy investments. I look forward to working with our clients and partners to deliver practical and sustainable outcomes across energy, resources and infrastructure projects,” Tirados said.
Simon Terry, General Manager – Philippines, said: “Patricia’s appointment strengthens our leadership capability in the energy and resources sector at a time of rapid transformation and significant investment. Her strategic leadership, proven growth track record, client success focus and broad industry experience will enable us to deliver greater value to clients as they navigate emerging opportunities and evolving challenges in a rapidly changing market.”
