He was formerly the Chief Executive Officer of the organisation that owns Sydney’s Olympic Stadium and was the owners’ Project Director, responsible for managing and overseeing the design and construction of the largest Olympic stadium ever built. A venue described by then International Olympic Committee President Juan-Antonio Samaranch as ‘the most impressive stadium I have ever seen in my life’.

Alan Patching has personally managed or directed development projects worth over AUD$ 6 billion. He has personally negotiated several huge property transactions including the largest property deals in Australia’s property history (over AUD$ 1.2 billion) and the country largest commercial lease.
