Yann Buannic
Yann has 20 years’ experience working with consultancies and rail operators, specialising in operations, network planning, business cases, demand forecasting, business performance reporting, and stakeholder engagement. He has worked on passenger and freight projects, in Australia and overseas.
He joined Network Rail Consulting (NRC) in 2024 as Associate Director – Advisory and Strategic Planning, to bolster the New South Wales’s business in the areas of rail infrastructure planning, operations, business case development and broader advisory services.

He alternated those engagements with stints at rail operators such as Metro Trains Melbourne and Yarra Trams, enabling him to retain strong links with the industry.
