PRD appoints new National Research Manager

PRD has appointed Dr Diaswati (Asti) Mardiasmo to its corporate team in Brisbane, where she will assume the role of National Research Manager. Dr Mardiasmo arrives at PRD with outstanding credentials, having spent the previous six years executing her high level research, analytical and evaluation skills in various high level government policy related roles. Most recently, she spearheaded a complex joint initiative between the Queensland Department of Health, Royal Children’s Hospital and Queensland University of Technology as Project Manager and Research Associate. She has also delivered papers on Public Sector Asset Management and Infrastructure.

PRD Managing Director Tony Brasier welcomed Dr Mardiasmo’s addition to the research arm.
“Asti is a strategic thinker with a polished academic and professional record,” he said. “PRD has always been at the forefront of residential property research in Australia. Her addition to the PRD team will strengthen our research capabilities at national, regional and local level, and provide us with additional firepower when tackling challenges associated with business strategy, corporate and good governance implementation, government liaison, economic analysis and forecasting.”
