About

I am a senior leader in Environment, Sustainability, Health & Safety (HSES), with a proven track record of identifying complex challenges and delivering practical, impactful solutions.

My expertise spans nuclear, oil & gas, construction & demolition, aviation, rail, manufacturing, and renewable energy. I bring a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks, stakeholder engagement, and operational excellence—ensuring that safety, sustainability, and performance go hand in hand. Whether navigating the demands of major infrastructure projects or driving innovation in corporate HSES strategies, I thrive in complex environments where leadership, adaptability, and communication are key to success.
