Dynamic Project Manager with over 30 years of experience delivering high-stakes offshore oil and gas projects for industry giants like ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, TotalEnergies, etc. Specializing in deepwater drilling, subsea systems, and large-scale platform construction, I excel in steering complex, multimillion-dollar projects to success in challenging environments across the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and the Middle East. Holding an MEng in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford, I combine technical expertise with strategic leadership to drive operational excellence, consistently delivering projects ahead of schedule and under budget. My global career—spanning the US, UK, Norway, and Qatar has honed my ability to lead diverse teams, navigate regulatory landscapes, and implement innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability. Key strengths include rigorous HSE compliance, achieving zero-incident records on high-risk operations, and leveraging advanced project management tools like Primavera P6 to optimize timelines and resources. Passionate about fostering collaboration and mentoring talent, I am committed to advancing the energy sector’s future while delivering measurable results.
