Our staff

Dan Paull - Chief Executive Officer

Dan is the Chief Executive Officer of PSMA Australia Limited.

Dan graduated with a Bachelor of Surveying (Honours) from the University of New South Wales, and started his career as a cadastral surveyor in a rural practice. He then moved into a large national engineering firm where his experience included the management of large-scale topographic, construction and engineering surveys as well as GIS (geographic information systems) infrastructure management and GPS (global position system) control, network analysis and adjustment. From this hands-on experience, Dan was able to make a successful transition to the management of the spatial information associated with these large projects and ultimately moved into a project management role with PSMA Australia in 1999.
