Les has extensive experience leading large collaborations and complex,
multisite projects. The skills and understanding gained from these

A common feature of many of these partnerships is that Les has little
formal authority or even face to face interactions with the people and
groups involved and so has developed strong monitoring and negotiation
skills.
