Tim Foster's background is rooted in water, public health, and resilience research, having worked across more than 20 countries—including Kenya, The Gambia, Vanuatu, Indonesia, Uganda, and Indigenous Australian communities—as a WASH volunteer in Uganda, an editorial board member for PLOS Water, and an academic at UTS's Institute for Sustainable Futures. That research-driven, globally minded path now shows up in his current work at CrossBoundary, where he focuses on long-term hybrid power partnerships for mining operations in Australia.

Notable Investments
CrossBoundary finances, owns, and runs clean power projects itself instead of just investing in companies, using project-finance and long-term contracts—including a first-of-its-kind solar-and-battery baseload plant for mining in the DRC—to replace diesel with fixed-price power for miners over 15-20 years, which can cut their energy costs by up to 50%. It has also built credibility by licensing solar power agreements early in frontier markets like Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Somalia, and Sierra Leone, and by bringing this same approach to blue-chip industrial clients such as Unilever, Diageo, Rio Tinto, Heineken, and AB InBev.
