Senior geoscience and operations leader with more than 20 years of experience delivering, governing, and scaling onshore and offshore site investigation programs across offshore wind, oil and gas, LNG, and infrastructure. I’ve led multidisciplinary technical organizations in both industry and the military — including serving as an Air National Guard Maintenance Officer responsible for up to 250 personnel in high‑risk, high‑reliability environments. I specialize in leading regional geoscience practices, strengthening capability, and improving delivery performance across multidisciplinary teams. My career has focused on building high‑performing teams, strengthening technical capability, and improving delivery performance across complex portfolios. I excel at aligning people, processes, and strategy; developing future leaders; and creating disciplined operational frameworks that improve utilization, forecasting, cost control, and technical quality. I’ve held leadership roles at Fugro, ConocoPhillips, RPS, and RWE, and I currently support operators as a principal consultant. Across these roles, I’ve managed technical governance, financial performance, and cross‑sector delivery while partnering closely with executives, project managers, and clients to ensure safe, efficient, and high‑quality outcomes. Goals: • Lead a regional practice or business unit where I can develop capability, strengthen delivery performance, and support long‑term strategic growth. • Build organizations where teams feel ownership, operate with clarity and accountability, and take pride in the work they deliver. Specialties: • Leadership of large, multidisciplinary teams • Technical governance and delivery performance • Offshore wind, O&G, LNG, and infrastructure geoscience • Operational discipline: utilization, forecasting, AR/WIP • Capability development and succession planning • Risk management and high‑reliability operations • Executive communication and stakeholder alignment
