McClenachan served as managing director for Asia-pacific operations and vice president of international business development where he propelled revenue and profit 40 percent within one year. During this period McClenachan was directly responsible for the largest and most profitable acquisition ever accomplished, the 1,680 megawatt Gladstone Power Station in Queensland Australia.
