Phaedra Deckart

I am currently the Chief Executive Officer of Solstice Energy, a leading diversified energy business with expertise in gas transmission, distribution and retailing. With offices in Launceston and Hobart, Solstice manages the natural gas distribution network in Tasmania and is a retailer of natural gas and electricity to residential and commercial customers, as well as a retailer of gas to industrial customers. Solstice has a presence in regional Victoria, where it operates natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines, and retails natural gas to residential and commercial customers. I am a trusted senior executive with extensive experience in the energy sector, having worked with two of Australia’s ASX50 companies. My background includes both local and global perspectives, gained from extensive work across Asia in the LNG industry and within Australia’s domestic energy market. A highly effective and engaging leader, my strengths lie in my ability to foster collaboration and engagement within diverse executive teams, creating environments which harness a wide range of perspectives and expertise, and where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best. I excel in identifying and developing talent and building high-performing teams. I pride myself in leading by example, to inspire others with my drive and determination, instilling a "can-do" ethos that delivers results.
