Core services
Structure complex workstreams, align joint-venture partners, coordinate specialist and regulatory inputs, and give boards and project leaders a clear view of decisions, obligations and follow-through.
Plan and document engagement, coordinate land-access discussions, maintain stakeholder and commitment registers, and work alongside qualified legal, Native Title, heritage, environmental and technical advisers.
Help Australian project teams and Chinese-speaking owners or partners understand context, intent, risk and next steps through accurate commercial briefings and structured cross-cultural communication.
Scope note: Norwood Global provides strategic, commercial, engagement and coordination support. Regulated legal, financial, technical, environmental, heritage and tenement advice must be provided by appropriately qualified and licensed professionals.
Selected experience · Anonymised
The examples below are drawn from Leo Liu’s professional experience. Employer, client, counterparty and project identities are intentionally omitted for confidentiality.
Senior accountability across greenfield exploration, environmental and access approvals, project development, operations, logistics, compliance, closure and rehabilitation within a lean mining organisation.
Coordinated the commercial and contractual framework of a producing operation—from land and Native Title interfaces through road, rail and port logistics.
Commercial management and governance for a multi-party Australian mineral-sands development, linking partner relations, regulatory submissions, land access, community engagement and board reporting.
Strengthened decision frameworks and partner alignment while advancing a key tenure and development transition.
Sustained coordination with Commonwealth and state agencies, environmental regulators, landholders, Native Title holders, communities, contractors and logistics operators in highly restricted operating settings.
Maintained access, regulatory continuity and trusted stakeholder relationships across changing project phases.
Primary English–Chinese commercial interface across ownership, management, Australian counterparties and advisers, including due diligence, governance, contract negotiation and partner communication.
Converted cross-cultural intent into executable commercial arrangements, including long-term bulk commodity off-take and integrated logistics interfaces.
Project work has been associated with industry recognition for resource-sector renewal, a state award shortlist and bulk-handling performance. These references recognise project teams and assets, not Norwood Global client work.
Ground to market
Leo’s experience spans the commercial and stakeholder interfaces connecting mine development, operating logistics and market delivery. Norwood Global coordinates those interfaces without replacing specialist technical advisers.

Founder & principal
Leo has more than a decade of senior mining-sector experience across governance, commercial management, joint ventures, approvals coordination, land access, stakeholder engagement, logistics, operations and rehabilitation.
His career has repeatedly placed him at the interface between Chinese-speaking ownership and Australia’s commercial, regulatory and community landscape. He has worked in lean teams where outcomes across disciplines had to be personally coordinated and carried through—not simply advised from the sidelines.
