Manama, Capital Governorate, Bahrain
Operational and transformation leader working across the GCC, focused on improving productivity, performance, and compliance in high-risk industrial environments. I partner with organisations across marine, oil & gas, and heavy industry to solve complex operational challenges- reducing downtime, improving efficiency, strengthening safety performance, and delivering measurable cost savings. My work sits at the intersection of operations, technology, and workforce capability, ensuring solutions are both practical and scalable. I work across multiple disciplines and technologies, bringing together solutions in abrasive blasting and coatings, automation and robotics, AI-driven safety platforms, environmental and recycling systems, and workforce training. By integrating these capabilities, I help organisations move beyond siloed improvements to deliver real operational transformation. My background includes senior operational roles across large-scale marine construction, repair, and conversion projects, where I have restructured departments, implemented integrated management systems, and delivered energy efficiency and performance improvement programmes resulting in multi-million-dollar savings and long-term sustainability gains. I have extensive experience working with asset owners, EPC contractors, and service providers across the Middle East, supporting alignment with nationalisation strategies, workforce development, and compliance with regional regulations and standards, including Saudi Aramco requirements. Core areas of impact: •Driving operational transformation and productivity improvement across complex industrial environments •Improving blasting, coating, and surface preparation performance through better process control and technology adoption •Embedding safety, compliance, and high-performance cultures aligned to industry and regulatory standards •Supporting nationalisation and workforce capability development through structured training and certification programmes •Introducing digitalisation, automation, and AI to enhance visibility, decision-making, and operational control •Delivering environmental and cost benefits through recycling, efficiency, and smarter resource utilisation I am passionate about helping organisations improve how they operate- not just through strategy, but through practical, measurable change that delivers long-term performance, resilience, and sustainable growth. Open to conversations around operational transformation, performance improvement, and leadership roles across the GCC and internationally.
I work across the GCC to identify operational improvement opportunities and connect organisations with technologies, processes and capability solutions that deliver measurable performance gains. My work spans industrial technology, process improvement, asset performance, inspection and condition assessment, corrosion and surface preparation, recycling, HSE, training and capability development — with a focus on productivity, reliability, ROI and sustainable operational improvement. This includes supporting specialist solutions in areas such as advanced inspection and asset integrity, industrial process and performance improvement, remote monitoring and field technology, and workforce capability. I also support international solution providers entering and expanding across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, helping them understand market requirements, develop local partnerships and translate their solutions into practical value for industrial clients.
