Results-driven financial strategist and trained economist with over 18 years of experience in the energy sector—delivering $90M+ in cost savings and leading capital planning and forecasting efforts exceeding $1B. I combine executive-level financial strategy with rigorous economic analysis and modeling to drive capital efficiency, risk mitigation, and informed decision-making in upstream oil & gas. My background spans planning, project controls, cost modeling, risk analysis, and structured energy contracts—with deep expertise in Drilling & Completions (D&C), facilities, and power operations. Proven success advising senior leadership at Occidental Petroleum, Anadarko Petroleum, and Sempra, managing strategic financial planning, scenario modeling, variance analysis, and cross-functional initiatives. Technically skilled in SAP, Primavera, Power BI, Crystal Ball, and Python (in progress). I'm actively seeking roles where I can bring this integrated skillset to oil & gas, infrastructure, or commodity-focused organizations—delivering measurable financial outcomes and operational clarity.
