I help operators, investors, and industrial leaders restore performance in damaged, disrupted, shut-down, or high-risk energy assets. Over 20 years at Shell and in the Middle East, I have worked at the intersection of operations, brownfield projects, asset integrity, reliability, and execution under pressure across gas, refining, petrochemicals, and complex industrial environments. My experience includes owner-side leadership for major gas projects in Iraq, refinery turnaround and performance improvement in Kuwait, and global advisory work on reliability, asset performance, and operational discipline. I have supported assets and organizations where success depended not just on technical insight, but on practical prioritization, governance clarity, and safe execution in difficult realities. Through Jenzer Advisory, I support clients on: - industrial recovery and restart readiness - asset integrity and brownfield rehabilitation - maintenance, reliability, and turnaround strategy (MRTA) - operational performance improvement in high-stakes assets - risk and opportunity governance for complex operations I am most useful where the situation is pressured, uncertain, or difficult to structure: damaged assets, prolonged shutdowns, brownfield constraints, stakeholder-heavy environments, and recovery decisions that require calm judgment and rapid traction. My approach combines technical rigor, operational realism, and strong frontline leadership. Sustainable recovery succeeds when priorities are clear, interfaces are managed, risks are addressed early, and ownership is strong. If you are working on industrial recovery, restart, brownfield rehabilitation, asset integrity, or operational stabilization in energy and industry, let’s connect.
Led technical due diligence for an international client evaluating a major refinery asset. Scope included: - assessment of operational performance - review of maintenance and reliability systems - evaluation of asset integrity and risk management - identification of performance gaps and improvement priorities - support for investment decision-making through practical, operations-based recommendations This role built directly on my experience in brownfield assets, asset integrity, performance restoration, and risk-based operational assessment.
- Deliver strategic consulting and training on reliability and asset performance to leadership across global operations - Collaborate with senior leaders to develop policies and systems that enhance operational efficiency and bottom-line performance - Lead initiatives to improve asset reliability, driving significant cost reductions and operational improvements
Led owner-side operations readiness and startup for a high-risk USD 3bn+ portfolio of greenfield and brownfield gas projects, including the BNGL megaproject, in one of the world’s most complex operating environments. Key contributions included: - building the systems, interfaces, and discipline required for safe transition from project execution into operations - improving delivery speed, agility, and cost-efficiency under geopolitical, technical, and brownfield constraints - implementing a digital completions system that improved safety and increased production efficiency by 50% - transforming a largely expatriate engineering team into a stronger, more localized and high-performing workforce - earning trust across JV stakeholders through consistent delivery, calm under pressure, and strong commitment to team development
